Relativistic interaction of short-pulse lasers with underdense plasmas has recently led to the
emergence of a novel generation of femtosecond x-ray sources. Based on radiation from …

Laser-driven plasma-based accelerators, which are capable of supporting fields in excess of
100 GV∕ m, are reviewed. This includes the laser wakefield accelerator, the plasma beat …

The advent of ultraintense laser pulses generated by the technique of chirped pulse
amplification (CPA) along with the development of high-fluence laser materials has opened …

The controlled coupling of a laser to plasma has the potential to address grand scientific
challenges,,,,–, but many applications have limited flexibility and poor control over the laser …

The energy frontier of particle physics is several trillion electron volts, but colliders capable
of reaching this regime (such as the Large Hadron Collider and the International Linear …

An overview is given of the physics issues relevant to the plasma wakefield accelerator, the
plasma beat-wave accelerator, the laser wakefield accelerator, including the self-modulated …

A method, which utilizes the large difference in ionization potentials between successive
ionization states of trace atoms, for injecting electrons into a laser-driven wakefield is …

ELECTRONS in a plasma undergo collective wave-like oscillations near the plasma
frequency. These plasma waves can have a range of wavelengths and hence a range of …

This book discusses the physics of plasma initiation and reviews the features of dissipating,
propagating plasmas. It deals with advances in diagnostics for high-energy, laser-fusion …

CITIES grow in a way that might be expected to resemble the growth of two-dimensional
aggregates of particles, and this has led to recent attempts1á¤-3 to model urban growth …
