ABSTRACT
The energy in hot electrons produced by the two plasmon decay instability, in planar targets, is measured to be the same when driven by one or two laser beams and significantly reduced with four for a constant overlapped intensity on the OMEGA EP. This is caused by multiple beams sharing the same common electron-plasma wave. A model, consistent with the experimental results, predicts that multiple laser beams can only drive a resonant common two plasmon decay electron-plasma wave in the region of wave numbers bisecting the beams. In this region, the gain is proportional to the overlapped laser beam intensity.
