Highly collimated MeV TSE guiding has been observed along the target surface following the interaction of bulk target irradiation by femtosecond laser pulses at relativistic intensities[1]. The beam quality is shown to depend critically on the laser contrast: with a ns prepulse, the generated electron beam is well concentrated and intense, while high laser contrast produces divergent electron beams. In the case of large preplasma scale lengths on the target surface, tunable guiding and acceleration of TSE is achieved by changing the laser incident angle. By expanding the preplasma scale length to several hundred micrometers, we obtained MeV monoenergetic TSE beam with 100 pC per laser pulse and divergence angles of only 3 degrees, which could be used as a stable injector for accelerators.
