Abstract :
The intense laser driven fast electrons originating from the tip of an inverse cone target are guided and confined to propagate along the wall surface, resulting in an emission cone of fast electrons. The guiding and confinement of fast electrons is of importance for fast ignition in inertial confinement fusion and several applications in high energy density science.
