Abstract
In experiments on the effect of magnetic field on electron transportation in laser–plasma interaction, the magnetic field is often produced by two coils and is mirror-like. In this paper, the transport and the reflection of fast electron beam generated in laser–plasma interaction in solid-density plasma immersed in a mirror magnetic field are studied using particle-in-cell simulation. The helicoidal motion of fast electrons in the field and the convergence of magnetic induction lines leads to the collimated transport and focusing of the fast electrons. The reflection of the fast electrons can lead to the decrease in the transmission ratio, and this reflection increases with the magnetic mirror ratio, but saturates at a certain level.
