This work is of utmost importance for the forthcoming generation of multipetawatt laser facilities where this physics will be tested. The first part consists of an introduction that extends from classical and quantum electrodynamics in strong fields to the kinetic description of plasmas in the interaction with such fields. This can be considered as an advanced tutorial which would be extremely useful to researchers and students new to the field. The second part describes original contributions on the analysis of the signatures of classical and quantum radiation reaction on the distribution function of the charged particles and of the photon spectrum, and leads to significant advances on this topic. These results are then extended to the analysis of the so-called QED cascades which are of central importance for a better understanding of some astrophysical phenomena and basic physics problems. Finally, the book discusses future directions for the high intensity laser?plasma interaction community. The results presented in this thesis are expected to become more and more relevant as the new multipetawatt facilities become operative. 410 0$aSpringer theses. 606 $aPlasma dynamics 615 0$aPlasma dynamics. 676 $a530.44 700 $aNiel$b Fabien$0913757 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466736903316 996 $aClassical and Quantum Description of Plasma and Radiation in Strong Fields$92047249 997 $aUNISA
