Scalings for ultrarelativistic laser plasmas and quasimonoenergetic electrons
Scalings for ultrarelativistic laser plasmas and quasimonoenergetic electrons
The similarity theory is derived for ultra-relativistic laser-plasma interactions. First, it is shown that the most fundamental S-similarity is valid for both under- and overdense plasmas. Then, the particular case of tenious plasma is considered in great detail. It is shown that the electron dynamics in this case has two …
