Azimuthal asymmetry in collective electron dynamics in relativistically transparent laser–foil interactions

Azimuthal asymmetry in collective electron dynamics in relativistically transparent laser–foil interactions

Asymmetry in the collective dynamics of ponderomotively-driven electrons in the interaction of an ultraintense laser pulse with a relativistically transparent target is demonstrated experimentally. The 2D profile of the beam of accelerated electrons is shown to change from an ellipse aligned along t...
