Acceleration and double-peak spectrum of hot electrons in relativistic laser plasmas.
A spectrum equation of hot electrons in relativistic laser plasmas is derived in which two hot-electron population peaks appear as the laser strength parameter reaches a threshold. These calculations can explain the generation of very hot electrons with several tens of MeV energy and two hot-electron population peaks observed in the recent experiments.
