Measurements of hot electron spectra from high irradiance laser plasmas
This thesis presents measurements of the production of hot electrons during laser interactions in the irradiance range 10^{16} -10^{20} W cm^{−2} . This intensity regime is accessible with modest ultra-short lasers at ∼ 10^{16} Wcm^{−2} where resonance absorption dominates the electron acceleration....
