Abstract

The interaction between a laser pulse with a peak power of 15 PW and a solid film target in the reflection and transmission regimes has been numerically studied. Frequency–angular radiation spectra in the THz range have been obtained and the parameters of accelerated electrons have been determined for these cases. The dimensionless strength of the THz field amounts to several units of a0, which may allow one to achieve relativistic intensities in the THz range after focusing.
