Hot electron generation and propagation have been investigated in the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with solid targets. The hot election generation and absorption mechanisms of ultrashort laser pulses have been studied at intensities of 5¡Á1016 7¡Á1017 Wcm-2 [1,2]. The competition between vacuum heating and resonance absorption has been found to be the main reason for a double-temperature distribution of hot electrons [3,4]. The effects of charge-separation-potential have been found to play a main role in the interaction process [5]. The effects of laser polarization on the hot electron emission have also been studied [6]. Outgoing hot electrons collimated in the polarization direction has been observed for the s-polarized laser irradiation, whereas for the p-polarized irradiation, very directional emission of outgoing hot electrons has been found close to the normal direction of the target. Dependence of the jet emission of hot electrons on the plasma scale-length has been obtained. The angular distribution has been found to be dependent on the energy of hot electrons. Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations have confirmed most of the observations [1,3,7]. The propagation process of hot electrons through solids have also been investigated [8]. References [1] Q.L.
