Hydrodynamic approach to the interaction of a relativistic ultrashort laser pulse with an underdense plasma

The interaction of an ultrashort, high peak power laser pulse with an underdense plasma is investigated within a physical model based on the three-dimensional cold hydrodynamic approach, which allows one to study the dynamics of the laser pulse and of the generated wakefields self-consistently, in t...

Description
Summary:The interaction of an ultrashort, high peak power laser pulse with an underdense plasma is investigated within a physical model based on the three-dimensional cold hydrodynamic approach, which allows one to study the dynamics of the laser pulse and of the generated wakefields self-consistently, in the fully relativistic, strongly nonlinear regime. Our model is developed with the aim of describing very short laser pulses (with l(0)
