Collimated quasi-monochromatic beams of accelerated electrons in the interaction of a weak-contrast intense femtosecond laser pulse with a metal foil
We demonstrated experimentally the formation of monoenergetic beams of accelerated electrons by focusing femtosecond laser radiation with an intensity of $2\times 1{0}^{17} ~\mathrm{W} / {\mathrm{cm} }^{2} $ onto the edge of an aluminum foil. The electrons had energy distributions peaking in the 0.2...
