Lasers and Nuclei describes the generation of high-energy-particle radiation with high-intensity lasers andits application to nuclear science. A basicintroductionto laser — matter interaction at high fields is complemented by detailed presentations of state of the art laser particle acceleration and elementary laser nuclear experiments. The text also discusses future applications of lasers in nuclear science, for examplein nuclear astrophysics, isotope generation, nuclear fuel physicsand proton and neutron imaging.
