Discussion/Conclusion. 330 $aThis book explores the underrepresentation of youth in political institutions and its impact on young people?s connection to democracy. The underrepresentation of youth in politics fuels a vicious cycle of political alienation. Due to the low presence of youth in political institutions, their specific interests are not adequately represented and therefore policies important to youth are not implemented, which leaves youth with feelings of apathy and disconnect to the formal political systems. Through an original dataset spanning 52 democratic countries and over two decades, this book examines whether increasing youth representation in parliaments and government can disrupt this cycle of alienation and encourage higher electoral participation and greater satisfaction with democracy among young people. The findings suggest that while the effects may be moderate, increased youth representation can positively influence young people's political engagement and increase democratic satisfaction. This book offers insights for policymakers and advocates seeking to bridge the generational divide in political participation and is also an important contribution to the literature on youth political representation. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Political Science,$x2191-5474 606 $aElections 606 $aComparative government 606 $aFamily policy 606 $aSocial choice 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aElectoral Politics 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aChildren, Youth and Family Policy 606 $aSocial Choice and Welfare 615 0$aElections. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aFamily policy. 615 0$aSocial choice. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 14$aElectoral Politics. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aChildren, Youth and Family Policy. 615 24$aSocial Choice and Welfare. 676 $a324.6 700 $aKolodziejczyk$b Kamila$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01803065 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910988394303321 996 $aBreaking the Cycle of Political Alienation$94349629 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03786nam 22007215 450 001 9910300425603321 005 20200701222827.0 010 $a3-319-08569-7 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-08569-2 035 $a(CKB)3710000000187215 035 $a(EBL)1783126 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001297301 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11739633 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001297301 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11363311 035 $a(PQKB)11681203 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-08569-2 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1783126 035 $a(PPN)179927981 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000187215 100 $a20140710d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aInvestigation of Staged Laser-Plasma Acceleration /$fby Satomi Shiraishi 205 $a1st ed. 2015. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (133 p.) 225 1 $aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 300 $a"Doctoral Thesis accepted by The University of Chicago, USA". 311 $a1-322-13755-2 311 $a3-319-08568-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aGeneral Introduction -- Laser-Plasma Accelerators -- Staged Laser-Plasma Accelerator: Introduction -- Injection Module -- Plasma Mirror -- Acceleration Module -- Summary and Conclusions. 330 $aThis thesis establishes an exciting new beginning for Laser Plasma Accelerators (LPAs) to further develop toward the next generation of compact high energy accelerators. Design, installation, and commissioning of a new experimental setup at LBNL played an important role, and are detailed through three critical components: e-beam production, reflection of laser pulses with a plasma mirror, and large wake excitation below electron injection threshold. Pulses from a 40 TW peak power laser system were split into a 25 TW pulse and a 15 TW pulse. The first pulse was used for e-beam production in the first module, and the second pulse was used for wake excitation in the second module to post-accelerate the e-beam. As a result, reliable e-beam production and efficient wake excitation necessary for the staged acceleration were independently demonstrated. These experiments have laid the foundation for future staging experiments at the 40 TW peak power level. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aParticle acceleration 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23037 606 $aQuantum Gases and Condensates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24033 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 615 0$aParticle acceleration. 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 14$aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Gases and Condensates. 615 24$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 676 $a538.6 700 $aShiraishi$b Satomi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300425603321 996 $aInvestigation of Staged Laser-Plasma Acceleration$91771598 997 $aUNINA
