Abstract
The effects of the laser polarization on acceleration mechanisms were studied by observing outgoing fast electrons and ingoing fast electrons generated by p- and s-polarized ultrashort laser pulses that are obliquely incident on an overdense plasma with or without a corona preplasma. It was found that both s- and p-polarized lasers can generate jet emission of fast electrons at moderate laser intensities. This provides new insights into acceleration of fast electrons in laser-plasma interaction.
