Abstract
It has been suggested that ‘transient surface currents’ caused by multi-MeV fast electrons can be responsible for the emission of low frequency radiation (e.g. in THz range) from ultra-intense laser–solid interactions. This mechanism has been analyzed, and analytic upper bounds on the intensity, electric field amplitude, and normalized vector potential have been developed and tested against 1D EM Particle-in-Cell simulations. The ‘transient surface current’ mechanism is effective and sufficiently efficient to fully account for all radiation that has been emitted in experiments so far.
期刊介绍：
Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion covers all aspects of the physics of hot, highly ionised plasmas. This includes results of current experimental and theoretical research on all aspects of the physics of high-temperature plasmas and of controlled nuclear fusion, including the basic phenomena in highly-ionised gases in the laboratory, in the ionosphere and in space, in magnetic-confinement and inertial-confinement fusion as well as related diagnostic methods.
Papers with a technological emphasis, for example in such topics as plasma control, fusion technology and diagnostics, are welcomed when the plasma physics is an integral part of the paper or when the technology is unique to plasma applications or new to the field of plasma physics. Papers on dusty plasma physics are welcome when there is a clear relevance to fusion.
