Self-absorption of synchrotron radiation in a laser-irradiated plasma

T. G. Blackburn, A. J. MacLeod, A. Ilderton +3

Electrons at the surface of a plasma that is irradiated by a laser with intensity in excess of $10^{23}\mathrm{W}{\mathrm{cm}}^{-2}$ are accelerated so strongly that they emit burst…
