Study on magnetic field generation and electron collimation in overdense plasmas

An analytical fluid model is proposed for artificially collimating fast electron beams produced in interaction of ultraintense laser pulses with specially engineered sandwich structure targets. The theory reveals that in low-density-core structure targets, the magnetic field is generated by the rapi...
