Laser-driven plasma-based accelerators, which are capable of supporting fields in excess of
100 GV∕ m, are reviewed. This includes the laser wakefield accelerator, the plasma beat …

Collisionless shocks, that is shocks mediated by electromagnetic processes, are customary
in space physics and in astrophysics. They are to be found in a great variety of objects and …

A new scheme for accelerating electrons, employing a bunched relativistic electron beam in
a cold plasma, is analyzed. We show that energy gradients can exceed 1 GeV/m and that …

An overview is given of the physics issues relevant to the plasma wakefield accelerator, the
plasma beat-wave accelerator, the laser wakefield accelerator, including the self-modulated …

An incomparable reference for astrophysicists studying pulsars and other kinds of neutron
stars, Theory of Neutron Star Magnetospheres sums up two decades of astrophysical …

The purpose of this article is to present a review of the nonlinear effects associated with
relativistic electron-mass variation and the ponderomotive force in unmagnetized as well as …

A brief summary of the dependences of key beam parameters in plasma-based accelerator
schemes is given here. A self consistent example of a 10 TeV center of mass accelerator is …

An envelope equation is derived which describes the radial evolution of a radiation beam
propagating through a plasma. The radiation envelope equation contains a defocusing term …

The acceleration of trapped electrons in the relativistic plasma waves (wake fields) produced
by specially shaped charged-particle beams is described by physical, analytic, and two …

This book presents and describes a series of unusual and striking strong-field phenomena
concerning atoms and free electrons. Some of these phenomena are: multiphoton …
