Suprathermal Electron Generation by an Ultraintensive Laser Pulse in Foil Plasmas

Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

Suprathermal electrons are produced with energies up to 10 MeV by the interaction of high-intensity laser pulses with overdense plasmas. With the progress in short-pulse multiterawatt lasers, it is now possible to produce MeV electrons in a plasma. These electrons have potential for applications to medicine and other technologies. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations were performed to produce suprathermal electrons.
