title = "Evidence of femtosecond electron bunches produced in laser-plasma interaction at relativistic intensities",
abstract = "Harmonics of the laser light are observed on the rear side of thick solid targets irradiated by a laser beam at relativistic intensities. This emission is explained by the acceleration of short electron bunches by the laser pulse in front of the target. These bunches separated by the period and half the period of the laser light emit Coherent Transition Radiation when reaching the rear side of the target. The spectral analysis shows that electrons are accelerated both by the laser electric field - vacuum heating - and by the ν×B component.",
