Abstract

Experiments in the context of fast ignition were carried out by focusing a 6-TW laser beam into a preformed plasma. An electron population with a quasi-temperature of 2 MeV was generated. The 2/spl omega/ self-emission image reveals a self-focused plasma channel formation, whereas X-ray pinhole photography shows a postheating of the preformed plasma.
