Abstract
A numerical model is used to show that the range of suprathermal electrons from laser-produced plasmas can be significantly reduced by the electric field needed to drive a return current of cold electrons. Direct experimental evidence of a reduction of preheat by at least a factor of 3 is presented for targets containing a low-density gold layer.Keywords
