High Power Laser and Plasma Science. Questo articolo non è disponibile.High Power Laser and Plasma Science

This book presents an introduction to high-power/high-intensity lasers and plasma science, covering topics ranging from the basics to the latest advances. It begins by addressing the basics of laser physics, followed by recent rapid progress in high energy pulsed lasers, ultrashort-duration high-intensity lasers, and laser-diode-pumped high average power lasers. Then the book covers plasma and inertial fusion physics, including laser-plasma interaction, plasma instabilities, atomic and radiation physics, and laser fusion physics. Uniquely, the book also features extensive information on avenues of high-field science opened by high-intensity lasers, e.g., relativistic laser plasmas, electron dynamics in high-intensity fields, and applications to particle acceleration, radiation generation and extreme field physics. This book also covers applications of high-power lasers, highlighting the state of the art in neutron generation, electromagnetic emission, and electron and ion accelerations.

The book offers an essential introduction to advanced lasers and plasma science for graduate students, scientists, and engineers alike, while the information on high-field science will also be useful for experts. Lastly, each chapter includes a list of literature, facilitating further study.
