Excitation of Langmuir oscillations and plasma electron acceleration in a dense plasma by laser pulse

Excitation of Langmuir oscillations and plasma electron acceleration in a dense plasma by laser pulse

In the paper, we report a nonlinear mechanism of a Langmuir wave excitation by laser pulse which frequency is equal to half of plasma frequency. We also considered plasma electron acceleration by the excited Langmuir waves. It is important note, that this accelerated electron flow is modulated.
