Abstract

We report one of the first measurements of induced heating due to the transport of a fast electron beam generated by an ultrashort pulse laser interaction with solid targets. Rear-side optical reflectivity and emissivity have been used as diagnostics for the size and temperature of the heated zone. A narrow spot has been observed of the order of the laser focus size. Values up to [Formula presented] at the target back surface were inferred from the experimental data and compared with the predictions of a hybrid collisional-electromagnetic transport simulation.
