Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-50533-319-44289-9 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.High Intensity Laser-Plasma Interaction and High Field Plasmonics -- Numerical Tools -- Electron Acceleration with Grating Targets -- Foam Targets for Enhanced Ion Acceleration -- Numerical Exploration of High Field Plasmonics in Different Scenarios.This thesis describes pioneering research on the extension of plasmonics schemes to the regime of high-intensity lasers. By presenting a rich and balanced mix of experimentation, theory and simulation, it provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of high field plasmonics, including open issues and perspectives for future research. Combining specially designed targets and innovative materials with ultrashort, high-contrast laser pulses, the author experimentally demonstrates the effects of plasmon excitation on electron and ion emission. Lastly, the work investigates possible further developments with the help of numerical simulations, revealing the potential of plasmonics effects in the relativistic regime for advances in laser-driven sources of radiation, and for the manipulation of extreme light at the sub-micron scale.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053LasersPhotonicsPlasma (Ionized gases)Particle accelerationPhysicsOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Plasma Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24040Particle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23037Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021Lasers.Photonics.Plasma (Ionized gases)Particle acceleration.Physics.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.Plasma Physics.Particle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics.Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.530.44Fedeli Lucaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut821936MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254591503321High Field Plasmonics1830339UNINA
