Abstract
Femtosecond laser pulses in the visible wavelength regime with peak powers of several TW are able to generate hot plasmas if they are focused onto a solid target. With flux intensities of more than 1019 W/cm2 for a duration of a few tens of femtoseconds electrons with relativistic energies of up to many MeV are produced.
