Abstract

Fast electrons are generated in the interaction between intense ultra-short laser pulses and the target. This interaction depends on the laser's intensity, polarization, incident angle, the scale length of the plasma, and the target material. In this review, recent studies carried out at our laboratory on the dependence of the fast electrons on the experimental conditions of the laser and plasma as well as ways to control the fast electrons are presented.
