Measurements of angular distribution and energy spectrum of hot electrons
|
Abstract:
The angular distribution and energy spectrum of hot electrons produced in the interaction of ultra-short ultra-intense laser pulses with solid foil targets are investigated. Results show that bath the angular distribution and the energy spectrum reveal anisotropic behavior. This anisotropy is believed to be related to the electron generation mechanism. The existence of energy anisotropy explains why different experimental groups obtained quite different elctron temperatures under the same laser intensity.
