Characterization of suprathermal electrons inside a laser accelerated plasma via highly-resolved K⍺-emission

Suprathermal electrons in laser-generated plasmas are potentially useful in many plasma environments. Here the authors show the characterization of suprathermal electrons in laser-generated Cu plasma using a high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy combined with hydrodynamic and atomic modeling.
