Generation of fast electrons in a CO₂ laser plasma interaction
Fast electrons have been observed in the +k∠ direction for a CO₂ laser plasma interaction. The threshold for fast electron production was found to be 10¹³ Wcm⁻². The number of electrons peaks and decreases for intensities greater than 6 10¹³ W cm⁻². Some possible theories are suggested for this beha...
