Magnetic focusing and trapping of high-intensity laser-generated fast electrons at the rear of solid targets.

The transport of fast electrons generated by a 1 ps, 20 J, 10(19) W cm(-2), 1 microm wavelength laser pulse through 70-250 microm thick deuterated polyethylene (CD2) targets is modeled with a Fokker-Planck hybrid code in r-z geometry. Initially, electric field generation inhibits propagation, which...
