Electron temperature in laser-solid interaction


Electron temperature in laser-solid interaction

Kluge, T.; Huang, L.; Debus, A.; Zeil, K.; Bussmann, M.; Schramm, U.; Cowan, T. E.

Recent theoretical results have led to a new understanding of how to derive the temperature of hot electrons generated in laser-solid interactions from the laser intensity.

We present new scaling laws for electron temperature with laser intensity. We then focus on the implications of our findings for applications such as laser-driven ion acceleration and laser-driven fusion using buried-layer targets.
