Generation of mega-gauss axial and azimuthal magnetic fields in a solid plasma by ultrahigh intensity, circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses

The interaction of intense linearly polarized (LP) femtosecond laser pulses with solids is known to generate azimuthal magnetic fields, while circularly polarized (CP) light has been shown to create axial fields. We demonstrate through experiments and particle-in-cell simulations that circularly pol...
