Produktbeschreibung

Collecting contributions from a host of international experts, this compendium presents novel diagnostic methods, experimental techniques, and simulation tools used to study and model laser-plasma interactions. After discussing the basic theory of the interaction of intense electromagnetic radiation fields with matter, it covers three applications of intense fields in plasma: inertial fusion, wakefield accelerators, and advanced radiation sources. The text also examines the underlying phenomena that link certain applications together. With a focus on current research trends, this book guides readers to the brink of the most stimulating challenges in the field.
