Ultra-Relativistic Effects of Laser Beam and Electron Interactions (eBook, ePUB)

Basic equations, exact solutions and modelling

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The latest generation of high-power pulsed lasers has renewed interest in the ultra-relativistic effects produced by the interaction between laser beams and electrons. Phenomena appear in this domain that are qualitatively different to those that appear at medium intensities, leading to new physical findings and effects.

Synthesising previous research, this book presents a unitary treatment of the main effects that occur in the ultra-relativistic interactions between laser beams and electrons. It uses exact solutions of relativistic and classical quantum equations, including a new solution of the Dirac equation, to fully describe the field and model the main ultra-relativistic effects created within it. Emphasising the connection between classical and quantum equations, this book goes some way to bridging the gap between methods. It also includes mathematics programs which can be used to devise experiments.

Aimed at scientists, graduate students and professionals working in high-power laser facilities and labs, as well as those studying relativistic optics, the book presents a comprehensive survey of the field, intended to facilitate high-level engagement.
