Study of electron acceleration dynamics by modifying a gas target with a shock wave

We present a method for studying the dynamics of electron acceleration, based on interrupting the acceleration process by the shock wave front created by an additional nanosecond laser pulse. Experimentally obtained electron spectra at various stages of acceleration are provided, as well as confirmi...

Description
Summary:	We present a method for studying the dynamics of electron acceleration, based on interrupting the acceleration process by the shock wave front created by an additional nanosecond laser pulse. Experimentally obtained electron spectra at various stages of acceleration are provided, as well as confirming results from PIC modeling.
