摘要:
We performed the first experimental study of propagation in compressed matter of hot electrons created by a short pulse intense laser. The experiment has been carried out with the VULCAN laser at Rutherford compressing plastic targets with two ns laser beams at an intensity > 10(14) W/cm(2). A CPA beam with an intensity greater than or equal to 10(16) W/cm(2) irradiated the rear side of the target and created hot electrons propagating through the compressed matter. K-alpha emission was used as diagnostics of hot electron penetration by putting a chloride plastic layer inside the target.
