Studies on the transport of high intensity laser-generated hot electrons in cone coupled wire targets

Experimental results showing hot electron penetration into Cu wires using Kα fluorescence imaging are presented. A 500 J, 1 ps laser was focused at f/3 into hollow aluminum cones joined at their tip to Cu wires of diameters from 10 to 40 μm. Comparison of the axially diminishing absolute intensity o...
