Role of resistivity gradient in laser-driven ion acceleration

It was predicted that, when a fast electron beam with some angular spread is normally incident on a resistivity gradient, magnetic field generation can occur that can inhibit beam propagation [A. R. Bell et al., Phys. Rev. E 58, 2471 (1998)PLEEE81063-651X10.1103/PhysRevE.58.2471]. This effect can ha...
