Abstract

A novel explanation of the relativistic self-induced transparency effect during superintense laser interaction with an overdense plasma is proposed. It was studied analytically and verified with direct modeling by particle-in-cell simulations. Based on this treatment, a method of ultrashort high-energy electron bunch generation with durations on a femtosecond time scale is also proposed and studied via numerical simulation.
