Relativistic Plasmas: Acceleration and Radiation gives a consistent description of relativistic plasmas and focuses on recent advances in plasma accelerators, radiation sources and intense laser-plasma interactions. The book is a useful reference on plasma physics for postgraduate students and researchers in many different areas of study, including astrophysical plasmas, those working on the new areas of plasma accelerators and intense laser plasma phenomena, or new models to understand intense radiation processes.

Key Features:

· Discusses relativistic plasmas, plasma accelerators, radiation sources and laser-plasma interactions.

Über Autor(innen)

José Tito Mendonça is Professor Emeritus of the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, and Docteur-ès-Sciences of the University of Paris-Orsay. He is a former Head of the Physics Department of IST. He launched the Euratom-IST Association, and worked at the Joint European Torus (JET) as scientific advisor. He created the Group of Lasers and Plasmas, and organised research groups in nuclear fusion, laser-plasma interactions and ultra-cold matter. He published five books and a few hundred papers. He made early contributions to laser-accelerators, plasma turbulence and spacetime optics.
