Theory of hot-electron spectra at high laser intensity

  • 1. Theoretical Division, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545

Description

A simple model involving resonant absorption in a self-consistent sharp density gradient is found to be in quantitative agreement with the suprathermal-electron spectrum from recent laser-plasma--interaction experiments and to explain qualitatively the scaling of that suprathermal-electron spectrum with laser power and wavelength
