Relativistic attosecond electron bunch emission from few-cycle laser irradiated nanoscale droplets

Attosecond electron bunches produced at the surface of nanometer-scale droplets illuminated by a two-cycle laser pulse are investigated for the purpose of determining their optimal emission characteristics. Significant departures from Mie theory are found for electron bunch emission from droplets wh...
