Relativistic nonlinear electrodynamics. Interaction of charged particles with strong and super strong laser fields. (Q2496545)

The book is devoted to a subarea of nonlinear optics that deals with interaction of charged particles with strong and super strong laser fields, and presents the current state of the art in this rapidly developing area. Tabel of contents: 1. Interaction of a charged particle with strong plane electromagnetic wave in vacuum. 2. Interaction of charged particles with strong electromagnetic wave in dielectric media. Induced nonlinear Cherenkov process. 3. Quantum theory of induced multiphoton Cherenkov process. 4. Cyclotron resonance at the particle-strong wave interaction. 5. Nonlinear dynamics of induced Compton and undulator processes. 6. Induced nonstationary transition process. 7. Induced channeling process in a crystal. 8. Nonlinear mechanism of free electron laser. 9. Electron-positron pair production in superstrong laser fields.
