Ultra-relativistic effects of laser beam and electron interactions : basic equations, exact solutions and modelling /

The latest generation of high-power pulsed lasers has renewed interest in the ultra-relativistic effects produced by the interaction between laser beams and electrons. Synthesising previous research, this book presents a unitary treatment of the main effects that occur in the ultra-relativistic inte...
