Generation of Cold Magnetized Relativistic Plasmas at the Rear of Thin Foils Irradiated by Ultra-High-Intensity Laser Pulses
A scheme to generate magnetized relativistic plasmas in a laboratory setting is proposed. It is based on the interaction of ultra-high-intensity sub-picosecond laser pulses with few-micron-thick foils or films. By means of Particle-In-Cell simulations, it is shown that energetic electrons produced b...
