Ultrafast electron kinetics in short pulse laser-driven dense hydrogen
Dense cryogenic hydrogen is heated by intense femtosecond infrared laser pulses at intensities of 1015-1016 Wcm-2. Three-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations predict that this heating is limited to the skin depth, causing an inhomogeneously heated outer shell with a cold core and two promi...
