On the physics of electron ejection from laser-irradiated overdense plasmas
Maxence Thévenet, Henri Vincenti, Jérôme Faure
Using 1D and 2D PIC simulations, we describe and model the backward ejection of electron bunches when a laser pulse reflects off an overdense plasma with a sharp density gradient o…
