Surface waves and electron acceleration from high-power, kilojoule-class laser interactions with underdense plasma

Experiments were performed on the Omega EP laser facility to study laser pulse propagation, channeling phenomena and electron acceleration from high-intensity, high-power laser interactions with underdense plasma. A CH plasma plume was used as the underdense target and the interaction of the laser p...
