Effects of electrical resistivity on fast electron transport in relativistic laser-solid interactions

This thesis reports on experimental and numerical investigations of relativistic electron transport in solids irradiated by intense (i.e. IL > 10p19s Wcmp-2s) laser pulses. Specifically, the effect of electrical resistivity on fast electron transport is explored. The first investigation explores...
