Abstract

Novel measurements of electromagnetic radiation above 10 MeV are presented for ultra intense laser pulse interactions with solids. A bright, highly directional source of γ rays was observed directly behind the target. The γ rays were produced by bremsstrahlung radiation from energetic electrons gene...
