Relativistic binary collision effects on the intense laser plasma interactions are investigated by introducing the Monte Carlo Coulomb model into a particle simulation code. Our collision model is fully relativistic, where the collision frequency is calculated in the frame work of relativistic electro-dynamics. By the particle simulation, the following two phenomena which are important in laser plasmas are investigated. The first one is for the electron heat transport in a steep temperature gradient and the second is for the electron energy distribution function of plasmas heated by a relativistic intensity laser irradiation. The results of the simulations are compared with the results of numerical analysis of the Fokker-Planck equation.
