Intense, femtosecond laser interaction with matter offers rich physics and exciting applications.Much of this appeal has to do with the presence ofhot electrons, a distinct group of electrons in the generated dense, hot plasma.They take up a large amount of laser energy and control the complex plasma dynamics.They are the primary interface in the interaction of the laser with matter and in turn give rise to hot ions, giant magnetic fields and hard x-ray emission.It is therefore important to attempt to tailor their generation and monitor their transport.
