Progress in Ultra-short Electromagnetic Pulse Technology: A New Frontier in Physics - Tapa blanda

This book highlights new concepts in different fields of electromagnetics. An electromagnetic pulse is a high-intensity, short-duration burst of energy.
Ultra-short electromagnetic sources have numerous possible advanced applications including: the creation and investigation of new drugs and other medically significant molecular structures; investigation of energy processes in DNA structures; treatment of cancerous and genetic diseases; development of industrial materials used under high pressure; nuclear waste treatment and storage; fusion reactions.

* Presents the latest developments in this developing technology
* A key topic for researchers in physics and medicine
* Well-known author in both Europe and the United States

"Four lectures summarize the thirty-five years of research Eloy has been involved with at the Research-Centre of Strasbourg-Cronenbourg, the French Atomic Energy Agency, and the European Synchotron Radiation Facility. The organization of the lectures is based on the chronology of breakthroughs in electromagnetic sources capable of delivering ultra-short pulses of an electromagnetic beam at the limits of coherence in a wide frequency range. Aiming the material at postgraduate students and practicing engineers, Eloy discusses ultra- short electromagnetic pulse generation and interaction with matter, ultra-short laser-matter interactions, and interaction of ultra-short X-ray pulses with matter in context of the temporal aspects for a synchrotron radiation source." --Book News, Inc
