On the Origin of Super-Hot Electrons in Intense Laser-Plasma Interactions
Over the last decade, laser facilities with peak intensity I > 5 ∗ 10 W cm2 have pushed the limits of ion acceleration [1], x-ray generation [2], and laboratory astrophysics [3] to exciting new extremes. The essential element for all of these phenomena is the population of relativistic electrons produced by the laser-plasma interaction (LPI), often in the preformed plasma created by amplified s...
متن کاملHot electrons transverse refluxing in ultraintense laser-solid interactions.
We have analyzed the coupling of ultraintense lasers (at ∼2×10{19} W/cm{2}) with solid foils of limited transverse extent (∼10 s of μm) by monitoring the electrons and ions emitted from the target. We observe that reducing the target surface area allows electrons at the target surface to be reflected from the target edges during or shortly after the laser pulse. This transverse refluxing can ...
متن کاملEnhanced photoinduced desorption from metal nanoparticles by photoexcitation of confined hot electrons using femtosecond laser pulses.
Strong fluence dependence of photodesorption cross sections is observed in femtosecond laser photodesorption of NO from (NO)2 on silver nanoparticles, in contrast to femtosecond photodesorption on bulk metals. The time scale of excitation buildup is found to be equal or less than the pulse duration of ∼100 fs; NO translational energies are independent of fluence and pulse duration. We propose ...
متن کاملStudy of Laser Injection of Electrons into Plasma Wakefields
A proposed laser-plasma based electron source [1] using laser triggered injection of electrons is examined. The source generates ultrashort electron bunches by dephasing background plasma electrons undergoing fluid oscillations in a plasma wake. The plasma electrons are dephased by colliding two counter-propagating laser pulses. Laser intensity thresholds for trapping and optimal wake phase for...
متن کاملQuasi-monoenergetic laser-plasma acceleration of electrons to 2 GeV
Laser-plasma accelerators of only a centimetre's length have produced nearly monoenergetic electron bunches with energy as high as 1 GeV. Scaling these compact accelerators to multi-gigaelectronvolt energy would open the prospect of building X-ray free-electron lasers and linear colliders hundreds of times smaller than conventional facilities, but the 1 GeV barrier has so far proven insurmounta...
