Publisher's Synopsis
Modern development of lasers and other external fields are opening up new frontiers of science covering explorations in broad areas ranging from atomic, molecular and optical physics (AMOP) to nuclear fusion, high energy particle physics, even reaching as far as astrophysics and cosmology. With an ever-growing interest arising in ultra-intense laser and other external fields, Mohan comprises the fundamentals: covering the application of ultra-intense, ultra-short pulse lasers; Atoms, molecules and clusters; high-field chemistry, high-harmonic generation (HHG), X-ray generation by laser matter interactions and their applications, collisions in laser fields, relativistic particle generation and acceleration by super-strong laser plasma interactions.
