Numerical modeling of fast electron generation in the presence of preformed plasma in laser-matter interaction at relativistic intensities

Fast electron generation in the presence of coronal plasma in front of a solid target (typically referred to as preformed plasma) in laser-matter interaction in the intensity range of 10{sup 19}-10{sup 21} W/cm{sup 2} is studied in a one-dimensional slab approximation with particle-in-cell (PIC) sim...

description Fast electron generation in the presence of coronal plasma in front of a solid target (typically referred to as preformed plasma) in laser-matter interaction in the intensity range of 10{sup 19}-10{sup 21} W/cm{sup 2} is studied in a one-dimensional slab approximation with particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. Three different preformed plasma density scale lengths of 1, 5, and 15 {mu}m are considered. We report an increase in both mean and maximum energy of generated fast electrons with an increase in the preformed plasma scale length (in the range 1-15 {mu}m). The heating of plasma electrons is predominantly due to their stochastic motion in counterpropagating electromagnetic (EM) waves (incident and reflected waves) and the presence of a longitudinal electric field produced self-consistently inside the preformed plasma. The synergetic effects of this longitudinal electric field and EM waves responsible for the efficient preformed plasma electrons heating are discussed.
