Abstract

Dense plasma heating by an ultrashort laser pulse is investigated in the regime of the high-frequency skin-effect. It is shown that the diffuse electron reflection by the plasma boundary yields a significant increase of electron temperature as compared to the specular reflection case, and a faster propagation of the heat flux inside the plasma.
