Studies of Electron Acceleration Mechanisms in Relativistic Laser-Plasma Interactions

Laser-plasma interactions have many potential applications, such as medical treatments,x-ray generation, particle acceleration and inertial confinement fusion (ICF).In all of these applications, understanding how laser energy is absorbed by the materialand converted into energetic electrons is very...
