Highly intensified emission of laser-accelerated electrons from a foil target through an additional rear laser plasma
Intensification of electrons escaping from an intense laser-produced plasma is demonstrated by using double femtosecond laser pulses. The electron density distribution at the rear surface of a laser-irradiated foil target is controlled by preirradiation to suppress sheath field growth and to expand...
