The continuous trend towards higher and higher laser intensities has opened the way to new physical regimes and advanced applications of laser-plasma interactions, thus stimulating novel connections with ultrafast optics, astrophysics, particle physics, and biomedical applications. This book is primarily oriented towards students and young researchers who need to acquire rapidly a basic knowledge of this active and rapidly changing research field. To this aim, the presentation is focused on a selection of basic models and inspiring examples, and includes topics which emerged recently such as...

Muy a menudo mucha gente, estando en un pais extranjero por primera vez, busca un volumen que no solo sea un vocabulario o una simple lista de frases, sino tambien que constituya una valida ayuda en va-rias si-tuaciones. Este libro enmienda este error y se dirige a todos los que quieran ir a Italia o viven en nuestro pais (por motivos de turis-mo, traba-jo, vacaciones o simplemen-te para disfrutar de la belleza de nuestros paisajes). El autor ha considerado oportuno poner enfasis sobre el ita-liano hablado siguiendo una aproximacion tema-tica, por tanto cada capitulo esta enfoca-do so-bre...

Questo eserciziario, scritto per accompagnare il mio testo "Spagna amica - Corso di lingua spagnola," di cui ricalca la sequenza degli argomenti, fornisce allo studente che intenda affrontare lo studio dello spagnolo, o migliorarne la conoscenza, abbondante materiale interessante e pratico. Il volumetto, che si concentra sulle aree grammaticali e sintattiche che presentano maggiori difficolta, puo essere usato, oltre che insieme al testo citato sopra, anche da solo o con una buona grammatica, ed e particolarmente utile, oltre che per migliorare, anche per verificare il proprio livello di...

This second edition adds 46 new problems, for a total of 203. The solutions to certain “old” problems have been revised for improved clarity, in response to questions and comments from our students (second-year students in the Master’s in Physics program). Each problem is given a title indicating its relation to the various areas of physics or technology. By tackling the problems presented here, students are gently introduced to advanced topics such as unipolar and homopolar motors, magnetic monopoles, radiation pressure, angular momentum of light, bulk and surface plasmons, and...
