Laser wakefield acceleration and x-ray emission in plasma produced by the electrical explosion of an aluminum wire
Underdense plasmas used in relativistic laser-plasma interactions are conventionally produced from gaseous targets, whereas low-density metallic plasmas remain comparatively unexplored. Here, we investigate the interaction of a femtosecond petawatt laser with expanded aluminum plasma using particle-in-cell simulations...
