The diffusion theory in energy space is used to describe the step‐by‐step ionization in superdense plasma. The rate of ionization is obtained. The theory can be used under conditions when thermal ionization accompanies cold ionization. The ionization time in laser‐generated aluminum plasma is calculated.
