1 Sep 2014 | Abstract: | It is shown that static longitudinal and transverse electric fields can
significantly alter electron acceleration by a long laser beam in a
sub-critical plasma, enabling generation of super-ponderomotive electrons. The
role of the plasma fields in this regime is not to directly transfer
substantial energy to the electron, but rather to reduce the axial dephasing
rate between the electron and the laser beam. The reduced dephasing in both
cases leads to a subsequent enhancement of the axial momentum and total
electron energy. These mechanisms can be relevant to experiments with
solid-density targets where a sub-critical plasma layer occurs as a result of a
considerable prepulse. | Source: | arXiv, 1409.0403 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
