A Solid Compendium of Advanced Diagnostic and Simulation Tools
Exploring the most exciting and topical areas in this field, Laser-Plasma Interactions focuses on the interaction of intense laser radiation with plasma. After discussing the basic theory of the interaction of intense electromagnetic radiation fields with matter, the book covers three applications of intense fields in plasma: inertial fusion, wakefield accelerators, and advanced radiation sources.
Collecting contributions from a host of international experts, the book provides a thorough grounding in the fundamental concepts of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter, before moving on to selected advanced topics from the field. It describes state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and experimental techniques used to study laser-plasma interactions as well as simulation tools for modeling these interactions.
With a focus on current research trends, this book guides readers to the brink of the most stimulating challenges in the field. It also gives readers an appreciation of the underlying phenomena linking several applications.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- A graduate-level text that examines the physics of intense laser radiation interacting with plasma. It serves as a pedagogical grounding for researchers in high-energy-density physics and advanced radiation sources. The volume is designed to guide students from fundamental theoretical foundations to the "brink of the most stimulating challenges" in the field. It covers three primary applications of intense electromagnetic fields: - Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF): Detailed analysis of fusion targets, Hohlraums, and the physics of ignition and burn; - Plasma Accelerators: Insights into wakefield accelerators and particle acceleration from both theoretical and experimental perspectives; - Advanced Radiation Sources: Exploring the use of plasma waves to harness and amplify radiation. The text is organised into sections that reflect the lectures given by international experts during the 2005 summer school at the University of Strathclyde. - Theoretical Foundations: Chapters on the basic theory of electromagnetic radiation interacting with matter and underdense/overdense plasma. High Energy Density Physics: Examination of shock waves, equations of state, and laboratory astrophysics using high-energy photon beams. Experimental and Computational Tools: A focus on state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, targetry, and numerical simulation challenges for modelling laser-plasma interactions. Relativistic Phenomena: Specific studies on relativistic plasma solitons, intense field quantum electrodynamics, and atomic stabilisation in strong laser fields. The book is tailored for postgraduates and above. It provides a bridge between core physics principles and current research trends, such as fast ignition and direct-drive inertial fusion. -- Contents: 1.
