| Titre : | A Superintense Laser-Plasma Interaction Theory Primer | | Type de document : | texte imprimé | | Auteurs : | Macchi Andrea, Auteur | | Editeur : | springer | | Année de publication : | 2013 | | Collection : | SpringerBriefs in Physics | | Importance : | 114 p | | Présentation : | ill., couv. ill. en coul. | | Format : | 23x15 cm | | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-94-00-76124-7 | | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | | Mots-clés : | Laser-Plasma | | Résumé : | The continuous trend towards higher and higher laser intensities has opened the way to new physical regimes and advanced applications of laser-plasma interactions, thus stimulating novel connections with ultrafast optics, astrophysics, particle physics, and biomedical applications. This book is primarily oriented towards students and young researchers who need to acquire rapidly a basic knowledge of this active and rapidly changing research field. To this aim, the presentation is focused on a selection of basic models and inspiring examples, and includes topics which emerged recently such as ion acceleration, "relativistic engineering" and radiation friction. The contents are presented in a self-contained way assuming only a basic knowledge of classical electrodynamics, mechanics and relativistic dynamics at the undergraduate (Bachelor) level, without requiring any previous knowledge of plasma physics. Hence, the book may serve in several ways: as a compact textbook for lecture courses, as a short and accessible introduction for the newcomer, as a quick reference for the experienced researcher, and also as an introduction to some nonlinear mathematical methods through examples of their application to laser-plasma modeling. |
