Popis: In recent studies, it has been shown that under optimal dual pulse irradiation, it is possible to generate anomalous relativistic temperature (>500 keV) electron emission even with mJ/pulse lasers at 1/100th of the relativistic intensity when micrometer droplets of methanol are used as a high repetition rate target. In this paper, we present the results of doping these droplets with CH3I to bring out a 30-fold enhancement in electron emission. Experiments and simulations presented here find a route to enhance electron emission driven by two plasmon decay instability. Improving compact laser plasma based sources of MeV electrons, x-ray emission schemes that use a high repetition rate, and mJ/pulse laser systems is important not only for basic science but also applications of imaging and radiography.
