摘要: Rapid progress in the development of high-intensity laser systems has extended our ability to study light–matter interactions far into relativistic domain, which electrons are driven velocities close speed light. As well as being fundamental interest their own right, these enable generation high-energy particle beams that short, bright and have good spatial quality. Along with steady improvements size, cost repetition rate lasers, unique characteristics laser-driven expected be useful for a wide range contexts, including proton therapy treatment cancers, materials characterization, radiation-driven chemistry, border security through detection explosives, narcotics other dangerous substances, course physics. Here, we review been made towards realizing such possibilities principles underlie them.
