Beskrivning

It covers the heating of matter to super-high temperatures and pressures, novel schemes of fast particle acceleration, matter far from thermal equilibrium, stimulated radiation scattering, relativistic optics, strong field QED, as well as relevant applications, such as extreme states of matter, controlled fusion, and novel radiation sources.

Mer om författaren

Peter Mulser, born in Völs-Fiè, (Bolzano), Italy, studied physics at the University of Pisa, at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, and at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, where he gained his diploma. He received his PhD in physics from the Technical University of Munich. In 1981, following research fellowships at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Garching and at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, he became a full Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Technical University of Darmstadt.

Recensioner i media

“The book is clearly written and is dedicated to the emerging field of high-power lasers with pressures comparable to those in collapsing cosmic objects, which exceed the pressures in the interior of stars. … The book is a course for master students and has nine chapters – each chapter ending with problems, references and a guide for further reading. … This is a very useful book for readers working in lasers and solid-state physics.” (Daniela Dragoman, Optics & Photonics News, osa-opn.org, May 27, 2021)
