Particle-in-cell simulations of high energy electron production by intense laser pulses in underdense plasmas
arXiv:physics/0410201
Abstract
The propagation of intense laser pulses and the generation of high energy electrons from the underdense plasmas are investigated using two dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. When the ratio of the laser power and a critical power of relativistic self-focusing is the optimal value, it propagates stably and electrons have maximum energies.
