Abstract

Electron transport within solid targets, irradiated by a high-intensity short-pulse laser, has been measured by imaging $K_{α}$ radiation from high- $Z$ layers (Cu, Ti) buried in low- $Z$ (CH, Al) foils. Although the laser spot is $\sim 10 μ m$ [full width at half maximum (FWHM)], the electron beam spreads to $⩾ 70 μ m$ FWHM within $< 20 μ m$ of penetration into an Al target then, at depths $> 100 μ m$ , diverges with a $40 °$ spreading angle. Monte Carlo and analytic models are compared to our data. We find that a Monte Carlo model with a heuristic model for the electron injection gives a reasonable fit with our data.
