Fine diagnostic of laser-created plasmas by induced Compton scattering
Abstract
Laser-created plasmas are characterized by high photon occupation numbers. Analysis of the induced Compton scattering of an auxiliary laser beam, tunable in frequency and incident angle, is used as a fine diagnostic mechanism for measuring the subcritical plasma distribution function.
