Abstract
Understanding the transport physics of an intense relativistic electron beam in various plasma regimes is crucial for many high-energy-density applications, such as fast heating for advanced inertial confinement fusion schemes, equation of state and opacity measurements, and ion sources. Most short pulse laser-matter interaction experiments for electron transport studies have been performed with initially cold targets where the resistivity is far from that in warm dense and hot dense plasmas. Additionally, the atomic ordering of a target material can have a significant effect on the resistivity; if the ions are highly disordered, then electrons will scatter incoherently and the electron mean free path will be limited to the mean inter-ionic distance, leading to a higher resistivity as compared to the more ordered lattice structure.1
