Résumé en anglais

We are investigating laser-plasmas produced in the interaction of a 1 J 9 ns Nd:YAG laser with a solid metal target as a source of electrons. An electron beam pulsed at the laser repetition rate is produced by biasing the target and making the plasma expand in an electric field. In this paper, we focus on the measured beam currents and charge surface distribution of the beam. The peak beam currents are much higher than what is given by a simplified toy model based on the Child-Langmuir limit in a vacuum and the charge surface distributions are inhomogeneous. Both these observations are explained by the presence of a positive preplasma expanding ahead of the laser-plasma front edge.< Réduire
