Notes:
Electrons of 2.3 MeV energy and light in the wavelength range from 2λ0 to 1.28λ0 scattered in the direction of incident laser have been observed from the plasmas of exploding thin foils created by a carbon dioxide laser. The correlation measurements of electrons and light, performed independently, pointed to a common physical origin for these near the quarter-critical density region of the plasma where low phase velocity plasma waves are driven. This also indicated that low-density forward Raman scattering with high phase velocity plasma waves may not be principally responsible for the energetic electrons. In order to interpret the experimental results a simple computer calculation has been performed obtaining the final energies of electrons trapped in freely propagating electron plasma waves with increasing phase velocity.
