Author: A.V. Borovsky
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3662052423
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
For the first time in a book, this monograph describes relativistic and charge-displacement self-channelling, which is the major finding in the physics of superintense laser beams. It also presents general nonlinear models of lasers - plasma interactions specifically in the case of extremely high intensities.

Frontiers in High Energy Density Physics
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030908637X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Recent scientific and technical advances have made it possible to create matter in the laboratory under conditions relevant to astrophysical systems such as supernovae and black holes. These advances will also benefit inertial confinement fusion research and the nation's nuclear weapon's program. The report describes the major research facilities on which such high energy density conditions can be achieved and lists a number of key scientific questions about high energy density physics that can be addressed by this research. Several recommendations are presented that would facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategy for realizing these research opportunities.

Plasmas at High Temperature and Density
Author: Heinrich Hora
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540889663
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
"New physics" is an appealing new keyword, not yet devalued by the ravages of inflation. But what has this to do with such an ugly field as plasma physics, steeped in classical physics, mostly outworn, with all its unsolved and ambiguous technological problems and its messy and open ended numerical studies? "New physics" is concerned with quarks, Higgs particles, grand unified theory, super strings, gravitational waves, and the profound basics of cosmology and black holes. It is the field of astonishing quantum effects, demonstrated by the von Klitzing effect and high temperature superconductors. But what can plasma physicists offer, after so many years of expensive and frustrating research to solve the problem of fusion energy? One may suggest that the fascinating research ofchaos with applications to plasma, or the achievements of statistical mechanics applied to plasmas, has something to offer and should be the subject of attention. However, this is not the aim of this book. Complementing the traditional aim of physics, which is to interpret the phenomena of nature by generalizing laws such that exact predictions about new properties and effects can be drawn, this book demonstrates how new physics has been derived over the last 30 years from the state of matter which exists at high temperatures (plasma).

Relativistic Nonlinear Optics
Author: Donald P. Umstadter
Publisher: Kluwer Academic Pub
ISBN: 9781402076336
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
This book presents the first introduction and review of a new subfield of optics and plasma physics, dubbed relativistic nonlinear optics. It discusses the fundamental science of the interactions of the highest intensity light ever produced with matter, resulting in relativistic plasmas. Discussed are novel physical phenomena that are of interest to scientists engaged in fundamental physics, nonlinear optics and high-power lasers. Also reviewed are applications to a new generation of radiation sources with unique characteristics. Another application discussed is an advanced concept for laser-driven space propulsion. Unlike other books on related topics, this is a single-author text that begins by introducing the fundamental concepts, then presents the most important special topics, and lastly reviews several timely applications.

Laser Plasmas and Nuclear Energy
Author: Heinrich Hora
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468420852
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
Most of this book was written before October 1973. Thus the statements concerning the energy crisis are now dated, but remain valid nevertheless. However, the term "energy crisis" is no longer the unusual new concept it was when the material was written; it is, rather, a commonplace expression for a condition with which we are all only too familiar. The purpose of this book is to point out that the science and technology of laser-induced nuclear fusion are an extraordinary subject, which in some way not yet completely clear can solve the problem of gaining a pollution-free and really inexhaustible supply of inexpensive energy from the heavy hydrogen (deuterium) atoms found in all terrestrial waters. The concept is very obvious and very simple: To heat solid deuterium or mixtures of deuterium and tritium (superheavy hydrogen) by laser pulses so rapidly that despite the resulting expansion and cooling there still take place so many nuclear fusion reactions tnat the energy produced is greater than the laser energy that had to be applied. Compression of the plasma by the laser radiation itself is a more sophisticated refinement of the process, but one which at the present stage of laser cechnology is needed for the rapid realization of a laser-fusion reactor for power generation. This concept of compression can also be applied to the development of completely safe reactors with controlled microexplosions of laser-compressed fissionable materials such as uranium and even boron, which fission completely safely into nonradioactive helium atoms.

Interaction of Electromagnetic Waves with Electron Beams and Plasmas
Author: C. S. Liu
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9789810215774
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
The interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter has always been a fascinating subject of study. As matter in the universe is mostly in the plasma state, the study of electromagnetic waves in plasmas is of importance to astrophysics, space physics and ionospheric physics. The physics of electromagnetic wave interacting with electron beams and plasmas also serves as a basis for coherent radiation generation such as free electron laser and gyrotron and advanced accelerators. This monograph aims at reviewing the physical processes of linear and nonlinear collective interactions of electromagnetic waves with electron beams and unmagnetized plasmas.
