Abstract
We demonstrated efficient fast heating of a solid wire target attached on a hollow entrant cone target with an ultra-intense laser. The heating temperatures were 1.2-2.1 keV and the heated temperatures were independent of the wire length, implying strong collimation of high energy density electrons produced in an interaction of the ultra-intense laser light with the cone-wire target along the wire. The high energy density electrons propagated along the wire target with maintaining the high energy density of electrons.
