Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of energetic electron generation and self-generated magnetic field with high-intensity laser pulses in overdense plasmas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2006
Abstract
The interaction of high-intensity laser pulses with overdense plasmas is studied by three-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. Self-generated magnetic fields are observed in the plasma target owing to Weibel-type instability. The growth rates of the self-generated magnetic field in our simulation are in good agreement with the results of our theoretical calculations.
