This book offers an introduction to the booming field of high-power
laser-matter interaction. 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. All models
and methods considered are introduced as they arise and illustrated
by relevant examples. Each chapter contains a selection of problems
to test the reader's understanding, to apply the models under
discussion to relevant situations and to discover their limits of
validity. The carefully chosen illustrations greatly facilitate the
visualization of physical processes as well as presenting detailed
numerical results. A list of useful formulas and tables are
provided as a guide to quantifying results from experiments and
numerical simulations. Each chapter ends with a description of the
state of the art and the current research frontiers.
