This revised edition of the author’s classic 2006 text offers a
comprehensively updated review of the field of relativistic
nonlinear electrodynamics. It explores the interaction of
strong and super-strong electromagnetic/laser radiation with the
electromagnetic quantum vacuum and diverse types of matter –
including free charged particles and antiparticles, acceleration
beams, plasma and plasmous media. The appearance of laser
sources of relativistic and ultra-relativistic intensities over
the last decade has stimulated investigation of a large class of
processes under such super-strong radiation fields.

Revisions for this second edition reflect these developments and
the book includes new chapters on Bremsstrahlung and nonlinear
absorption of superintense radiation in plasmas, the nonlinear
interaction of relativistic atoms with intense laser radiation,
nonlinear interaction of strong laser radiation with Graphene,
and relativistic nonlinear phenomena in solid-plasma targets
under supershort laser pulses of ultrarelativistic intensities.

The only book devoted to the subject of relativistic nonlinear
electrodynamics, this second edition will be a valuable resource
for graduate students and researchers involved in any aspect
of the field, including those working with intense x-ray –
gamma-ray lasers, the new generation of small size laser-plasma
accelerators of superhigh energies and high-brightness particle
beams.
