Plasma formation on the front and rear of plastic targets due to high-intensity laser-generated fast electrons
Novel features of plasma generation by 1 ps, 1 μm, ∼1019 Wcm-2 laser pulses on thick plastic targets are presented: (i) The electron distribution in the ablated plasma has a minimum along the target normal which persists long after the laser pulse (>1 ns); (ii) a narrow plasma jet is formed a...
