Time-resolved K_α spectroscopy measurements of hot-electron equilibration dynamics in thin-foil solid targets: Collisional and collective effects

Journal Article Nilson, P. M. ; Solodov, A. A. ; Davies, J. R. ; ... - Journal of Physics. B, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

Time-resolved K_α spectroscopy measurements from high-intensity laser interactions with thin-foil solid targets are reviewed. Thin Cu foils were irradiated with 1- to 10-J, 1-ps pulses at focused intensities from 10¹⁸ to 10¹⁹ W/cm². The experimental data show K_α-emission pulse widths from 3 to 6 ps, increasing with laser intensity. The time-resolved K_α-emission data are compared to a hot-electron transport and K_α-production model that includes collisional electron-energy coupling, resistive heating, and electromagnetic field effects. The experimental data show good agreement with the model when a reduced ponderomotive scaling is used to describe the initial mean hot-electron energy over the relevant intensitymore » range.« less

Measurements of energy and angular distribution of hot electrons and protons emitted from a p- and s-polarized intense femtosecond laser pulse driven thin foil target

Journal Article Li, Z ; Daido, H ; Fukumi, A ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The energy spectra and angular distributions of hot electrons as well as protons emitted from a 3-{mu}m-thick tantalum foil irradiated by a 70-fs laser pulse with an intensity of {approx}10{sup 18} W/cm{sup 2} are measured. Three hot electron flows are found, in the rear target normal, specular, and target surface directions. The angular distribution of hot electrons is found to depend on the polarization of the incident light. The measured energy spectrum of hot electrons in the rear target normal direction can explain the generated proton beam.

Hot Electron Diagnostic in a Solid Laser Target by K-Shell Lines Measurement from Ultra-Intense Laser-Plasma Interactions R=1.06 (micron)m, 3x10 W/cm -2(less than or equal to) 500 J

Technical Report Yasuike, K ; Wharton, K B ; Key, M ; ...

Characterization of hot electron production (a conversion efficiency from laser energy into electrons) from ultra intense laser-solid target interaction by observing molybdenum (Mo) K{beta} as well as K{alpha} emissions from a buried fluorescence tracer layer in the targets has been done. The experiments used 1.06 {micro}m laser light with an intensity of from 2 x 10{sup 18} up to 3 x 10{sup 20} W cm{sup -2} (20-0.5 ps pulse width) and an on target laser energy of 280-500 J. The conversion efficiency from the laser energy into the energy, carried by hot electrons, has been estimated to be {approx}50% formore »« less

Measurement of the relaxation time of hot electrons in laser-solid interaction at relativistic laser intensities

Journal Article Chen, H ; Shepherd, R ; Chung, H K ; ... - Physical Review E, vol. 76, no. 5, November 1, 2007, pp. 056402

The authors have measured the relaxation time of hot electrons in short pulse laser-solid interactions using a picosecond time-resolved x-ray spectrometer and a time-integrated electron spectrometer. Employing laser intensities of 10{sup 17}, 10{sup 18}, and 10{sup 19} W/cm{sup 2}, they find increased laser coupling to hot electrons as the laser intensity becomes relativistic and thermalization of hot electrons at timescales on the order of 10 ps at all laser intensities. They propose a simple model based on collisional coupling and plasma expansion to describe the rapid relaxation of hot electrons. The agreement between the resulting K{sub {alpha}} time-history from thismore »« less
