These symposium proceedings address exciting aspects of the interaction of very high intensity laser pulses with plasmas in a special strong field regime where electron motion is highly relativistic. The interdisciplinary subject matter includes the basic physics of notable laser-driven conversion processes and some important applications of these processes. Important conversion processes dealt with here that are associated with these laser-plasma interactions are the acceleration of ions and electrons by laser pulses and the laser generation of intense harmonic radiation, as well as other int...
These symposium proceedings address exciting aspects of the interaction of very high intensity laser pulses with plasmas in a special strong field regime where electron motion is highly relativistic. The interdisciplinary subject matter includes the basic physics of notable laser-driven conversion processes and some important applications of these processes. Important conversion processes dealt with here that are associated with these laser-plasma interactions are the acceleration of ions and electrons by laser pulses and the laser generation of intense harmonic radiation, as well as other intense xuv and x-ray radiation. Noteworthy medical applications include the potential use of laser-driven ion beams for ion therapy for cancer and the development of x-ray phase contrast imaging. The diagnostic use of proton beams in experiments and of ions for ion imaging represent interesting nonmedical applications that are described.
