Book Description
This comprehensive book presents at a theoretical level the main aspects of high-power lasers interacting with nuclei at a broad range of intensities for scientists and students involved in this new and challenging area of research. It presents theoretical techniques, some borrowed from atomic physics, and applications related to important chapters of nuclear physics. This book provides an overview of the field's state-of-the-art and an introduction to the classical and quantum foundations of the interaction of a particle or a system of particles with the electromagnetic field. Topics such as particle emission of nuclei, collective dipole modes induced by strong laser beams and laser-assisted heavy-ion scattering are discussed.
Controlling the Dynamics of Electrons and Nuclei in Ultrafast Strong Laser Fields

Book Description
One ultimate goal of ultrafast, strong- field laser science is to coherently control chemical reactions. Present laser technology allows for the production of intense (>1013 W/cm2), ultrashort ([less than or equal to] 5 fs), carrier-envelope phase-stabilized pulses. By knowing the electric field waveform, sub-cycle resolution on the order of 100's of attoseconds (1 as=10−18 s) can be reached -- the timescale for electron motion. Meanwhile, the laser field strengths are comparable to that which binds electrons to atoms or molecules. In this intense-field ultrashort-pulse regime one can both measure and manipulate dynamics of strong-field, quantum-mechanical processes in atoms and molecules. Despite much progress in the technology, typical durations for which lasers can be reliably locked to a specific carrier-envelope phase ranges from a few minutes to a few hours. Experiments investigating carrier-envelope phase effects that have necessarily long data acquisition times, such as those requiring coincidence between fragments originating from the same atom or molecule, are thus challenging and uncommon. Therefore, we combined the new technology for measuring the carrier-envelope phase of each and every laser shot with other single-shot coincidence three-dimensional momentum imaging techniques to alleviate the need for carrier-envelope phase stabilized laser pulses. Using phase-tagged coincidence techniques, several targets and laser-induced processes were studied. One particular highlight uses this method to study the recollision process of non-sequential double ionization of argon. By measuring the momentum of the two electrons emitted in the process, we could study their energy sharing. Furthermore, by selecting certain carrier-envelope phase values, and therefore laser pulses with a particular waveform, events with single recollision could be isolated and further analyzed. Another highlight is our studies of carrier-envelope phase effects in the dissociation of the benchmark H2 ion beam. Aided by near-exact quantum mechanical calculations, we could identify interfering pathways which lead to the observed spatial asymmetry. These and other similar experiments are described in this thesis as significant steps toward their ultimate control.

Book Description
This book covers a broad range of topics from the interdisciplinary research field of ultrafast intense laser science, focusing on atoms and molecules interacting with intense laser fields, laser-induced filamentation, high-order harmonics generation, and high power lasers and their applications. This sixteenth volume features contributions from world-renowned researchers, introducing the latest reports on probing molecular chirality with intense laser fields, and the most recent developments in the Shanghai Superintense Ultrafast Laser Facility project. The PUILS series delivers up-to-date reviews of progress in this emerging interdisciplinary research field, spanning atomic and molecular physics, molecular science, and optical science, which has been stimulated by the recent developments in ultrafast laser technologies. Each volume compiles peer-reviewed articles authored by researchers at the forefront of each of their own subfields of ultrafast intense laser science. Every chapter opens with an overview of the topics to be discussed, so that researchers unfamiliar to the subfield, especially graduate students, can grasp the importance and attractions of the research topic at hand; these are followed by reports of cutting-edge discoveries.

Book Description
In recent years, there has been rapid growth in the research field of real-time observation of nuclear and electronic dynamics in molecules. Its time range extends from femtoseconds to attoseconds. This has been made possible by the development of both laser technology and time-dependent theoretical treatments. Indeed, this research field is arguably the most active one in molecular science, second only to femtosecond chemistry. The outcome of the research is expected to make an important contribution to physics, materials science and biology as well as chemistry. In this monograph, the fundamental theories and methods, as well as experimental methods and results, of real-time observation of both nuclear and electronic motions in molecular systems are described. It is suitable for researchers who want to make an active contribution to the new research field and for graduate students who are interested in ultra-fast nuclear and electron dynamics in molecular systems.
