Investigation on the origin of hot electrons in laser plasma interaction at shock ignition intensities

Abstract Shock Ignition is a two-step scheme to reach Inertial Confinement Fusion, where the precompressed fuel capsule is ignited by a strong shock driven by a laser pulse at an intensity in the order of $$10^{16}$$ 10 16 W/cm $$^2$$ 2 . In this report we describe the results of an experiment carri...
