"Collisionless absorption, hot electron generation and intensity scaling in relativistic laser plasma interaction — •Tatyana Liseykina1 and Peter Mulser2 — 1Institut für Physik, Universität Rostock, Germany — 2Institut für Angewandte Physik, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany
The essence of collisionless absorption of intense laser beams in solid targets and the generation of fast electrons is described. From one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations the main absorption mechanism is extracted as a function of intensity in the relativistic domain. Degree of absorption and hot electron production is shown to undergo a minimum which is attributed to the back holding effect of the radiation pressure. The variation of the electron spectrum with intensity is analyzed and scaling laws are presented. A critical comparison with existing modelling and experiments is given.
