Abstract
- We report on an experimental study on the interaction of a high-contrast 40 fs duration 2.5 TW laser pulse with an argon cluster target. A high-charge, homogeneous, large divergence electron beam with moderate kinetic energy (~2 MeV) is observed in the forward direction. The results show, that an electron beam with a charge as high as 10 nC can be obtained using a table-top laser system. The accelerated electron beam is suitable for a variety of applications such as radiography of thin samples with a spatial resolution better than 100 micron.<br />Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures
