Fast electron energy transport in high intensity laser-plasma interactions

This thesis presents experimental measurements of fast electron energy transport made using optical probing, x-ray and XUV imaging techniques. Hydrodynamic and hybrid particlein- cell (PIC) simulations were used to interpret the results. Measurements of fast electron heating patterns were made using...
