The field of laser-matter interaction traditionally deals with the response of atoms, molecules,
and plasmas to an external light wave. However, the recent sustained technological …

The current understanding of some important nonlinear collective processes in quantum
plasmas with degenerate electrons is presented. After reviewing the basic properties of …

Dense quantum plasmas are ubiquitous in planetary interiors and in compact astrophysical
objects (eg, the interior of white dwarf stars, in magnetars, etc.), in semiconductors and …

The fully nonlinear governing equations for spin-1 2 quantum plasmas are presented.
Starting from the Pauli equation, the relevant plasma equations are derived, and it is shown …

Recent advances in laser technology have pushed the frontier of maximum intensity
achieved to about 1022W/cm2 and investigators currently believe even higher intensities …

Starting from the non-relativistic Pauli description of spin-particles, a set of fluid equations,
governing the dynamics of such particles interacting with external fields and other particles …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview on various scattering and reaction
processes taking place in a powerful laser field. These processes can be either laser …

We consider nonlinear interactions between intense circularly polarized electromagnetic
(CPEM) waves and electron plasma oscillations (EPOs) in a dense quantum plasma, taking …

A generalization of the analytical theory of high harmonic generation in the long wavelength
limit and in the single active electron approximation is developed taking into account the …

Strong-field quantum electrodynamics (SF-QED) plays a crucial role in ultraintense laser–
matter interactions and demands sophisticated techniques to understand the related physics …
