Abstract

Description

In this paper the superheating of electron plasma by femtosecond laser pulses is investigated. With Heaviside thermal equation (Lasers in Engineering, 12, (2002), p.17) the generation of superhot electrons is described. It is shown that in hot electron plasma (i.e. with electron energies >5MeV) the thermal shock waves can be generated. Key words: Femtosecond laser pulses; Hot electron plasma; Shock thermal waves.
