Abstract
We use a PW-class PEARL facility to study fast electron beam generation during high intensity laser pulse interaction with a supersonic gas jet. We show that electron beams with several hundreds of MeV and relatively large charges, of hundreds of pC and more, can be effectively produced without any guiding structures. PIC simulations also confirm the obtained experimental data and provide optimized conditions of laser-plasma interaction for high-charged beam production.
