Applications of laser-driven particle acceleration

The first book of its kind to highlight the unique capabilities of laser-driven acceleration and its diverse potential, this book presents the basic understanding of acceleration concepts and envisioned prospects for selected applications.

As the main focus, this new book explores exciting and diverse application possibilities, with emphasis on those uniquely enabled by the laser driver that can also be meaningful and realistic for potential users.

A key aim of the book is to inform multiple, interdisciplinary research communities of the new possibilities available and to inspire them to engage with laser-driven acceleration, further motivating and advancing this developing field.
