Abstract
Summary from only given. We report on the experiments on laser-solid interaction in a weakly relativistic regime (a/sub o/ = 0.6) using high-contrast-ratio femtosecond pulses with the intensity of about 10/sup 18/ W/cm/sup 2/. A titanium sapphire laser producing 200 mJ pulses of 120 fs duration at a wavelength 800 nm has been used.
