Self-generated magnetic fields in intense laser-solid interactions relevant to relativistic plasma astrophysics

This thesis reports on self-generated magnetic fields in ultra-intense laser interactions with dense plasma and the role that these play in the dynamics of relativistic electrons, and, subsequently, ion acceleration. This includes an investigation of resistive magnetic fields generated within solids...
