Hard X radiation and fast particles in laser plasma experiments at laser intensities of up to 5×1018 W/cm2 on the target surface

Fast Charged Particles and Super-Strong Magnetic Fields Generated by Intense Laser Target Interaction

“…Threshold smearing evidences for stochastic character of the process. The good agreement between theory and experiment (Matafonov & Belyaev, 2001;Malka & Miquel, 1996;Borodin et al, 2000;Nickles et al, 1999;Ledingham & Norreys, 1999;Cowan et al, 1999;He et al, 2004;Mangles et al, 2005) suggests the realizability of the proposed high-energy electron formation mechanism in laser plasmas. In our article (Belyaev, Kostenko et al, 2003) we also have investigated cyclotron mechanism of electron acceleration.…”
