Ion acceleration driven by superintense laser pulses is attracting an impressive and steadily increasing effort. Motivations can be found in the applicative potential and in the perspective …
This book represents the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering the theoretical principles, present experimental status and important applications of short-pulse …
In order to investigate ponderomotive force in the relativistic regime, the interaction of ultraintense laser pulses with free electrons in vacuum is studied both theoretically and …
A Pukhov - Reports on progress in Physics, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
The Review covers recent progress in laser-matter interaction at intensities above 10 18 W cm− 2. At these intensities electrons swing in the laser pulse with relativistic energies. The …

Collimated jets of carbon and fluorine ions up to 5 M e V/nucleon (<? format?>∼<? format?> 100 M e V) are observed from the rear surface of thin foils irradiated with laser intensities of …
The electron trapping in the “bubble” regime of laser-plasma interaction as proposed by Pukhov and Meyer-ter-Vehn [A. Pukhov and J. Meyer-ter-Vehn, Appl. Phys. B 74, 355 …
We demonstrate that charged particles in a sufficiently intense standing wave are compressed toward, and oscillate synchronously at, the antinodes of the electric field. We …

At least some fast radio bursts (FRBs) are produced by magnetars. Even though mounting observational evidence points towards a magnetospheric origin of FRB emission, the …
QED cascades are complex avalanche processes of hard photon emission and electron- positron pair creation driven by ultrastrong electromagnetic fields. They play a fundamental …
