Transport of energy by ultraintense laser-generated electrons in nail-wire targets

Nail-wire targets (20 μm diameter copper wires with 80 μm hemispherical head) were used to investigate energy transport by relativistic fast electrons generated in intense laser-plasma interactions. The targets were irradiated using the 300 J, 1 ps, and 2 × 1020 W · cm-2 Vulcan laser at the Rutherfo...
