Laser-produced relativistic electron energy and angular distributions in thin foils

  • 1. Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, 141700 Dolgoprudny, Moscow Region (Russian Federation)

Description

Energy and angular distributions are obtained for electrons at the rear surface of thin foils irradiated by an oblique relativistic laser pulse. Vacuum heating at the front surface in the summary field of incident and reflected laser waves is considered as a main mechanism of electron heating up to relativistic ponderomotive energies
