Enhanced Thomson scattering from laser plasmas
Abstract
Carried out is a preliminary series of experiments to investigate the origin of broad band features in the scattered light spectrum of laser-produced plasmas. Results are consistent with the Thomson Scattering model enhanced by the presence of a non-thermal electron distribution as opposed to the usual convective stimulated Raman scattering model.
