Effects of laser temporal profile on fast electron characteristics
2D PIC simulations for fast ignition with a planar target and an ultrahigh intensity laser have been performed to investigate effects of laser temporal profile on fast electron characteristics. Six different laser profiles, which are combination of two pulse shapes, namely Flattop and Gaussian shape...
