Experimental indications of plasma instabilities induced by laser heating

Creators

Description

The detection of ∼ 100-keV x radiation and of directly back-scattered light is described for neodymium-glass-laser light pulses focused on a polyethylene target. These observations can be explained in terms of the nonlinear excitation of plasma waves by the laser light.
