A study of fast electron energy transport in relativistically intense laser-plasma interactions with large density scalelengths

A systematic experimental and computational investigation of the effects of three well characterized density scalelengths on fast electron energy transport in ultra-intense laser-solid interactions has been performed. Experimental evidence is presented which shows that, when the density scalelength...
