On the properties of the plasma generated by irradiating spherical heavy targets by an electron beam

Investigates the generation of plasma by irradiating with a convergent relativistic electron beam spherical targets whose outer layer is constituted by heavy materials (i.e. gold). The energy deposition is described by the well-known law commonly employed in the interaction of high energy electrons...

Average values for the density and thermal and expansion velocities of the plasma (corona) are given as functions of the power of the beam and of the particle radius.
