Title: "Raman amplification in the coherent wavebreaking regime"


Abstract: In regimes far beyond the wavebreaking threshold of Raman
amplification, we show that significant amplification may occur after the
onset of wavebreaking, before phase mixing destroys the coherent coupling
between pump, probe and plasma wave.  Amplification in this regime is
therefore a transient effect, and is sensitive to the laser parameters.
Experimental works therefore require careful control of both pump and probe
if high energy transfers are to be achieved.
