Nuclear Dynamics in Strong Laser Fields (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The interaction of strong lasers with atomic nuclei is a new and growing field of research stimulated by worldwide laser facilities operating with unprecedent power. While this topic was practically absent from the literature less than two decades ago, there is now an increased interest in developing and applying theoretical methods to describe various nuclear processes assisted by ultra-strong lasers.

This comprehensive book presents at a theoretical level the main aspects of high-power lasers interacting with nuclei at a broad range of intensities and frequencies and is intended for scientists and students involved in this new and challenging area of research. It presents theoretical techniques, some borrowed from atomic physics, and applications related to important chapters of nuclear physics.

The book provides an overview of the field's state-of-the-art and an introduction to the classical and quantum foundations of the interaction of a particle or a system of particles with the electromagnetic field. Topics such as particle emission of nuclei, collective dipole modes induced by strong laser beams, and laser-assisted heavy-ion scattering are discussed.
