Physics of Shock Waves and High-Temperature Hydrodynamic Phenomena
TLDR
In this paper, the authors discuss the physics of gas dynamics and classical theory of shock waves, including thermal radiation and radiant heat exchange in a medium, and some self-similar processes in gas dynamics.Abstract:
: Contents: Elements of gas dynamics and classical theory of shock waves; thermal radiation and radiant heat exchange in a medium; thermodynamic properties of gases at high temperatures; shock tubes; absorption and emission of radiation in gases at high temperatures; speed of relaxation processes in gases; structure of front of shock waves in gases; physico-chemical kinetics in hydrodynamic processes; light phenomena in shock waves and during strong explosion in air; thermal waves; shock waves in solids; certain self-similar processes in gas dynamics.read more

Development of the indirect‐drive approach to inertial confinement fusion and the target physics basis for ignition and gain
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to fusion that relies on either electron conduction (direct drive) or x rays (indirect drive) for energy transport to drive an implosion is presented.

Optics in the relativistic regime
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of consequences of relativistic-strength optical fields are surveyed, including wakefield generation, a relativistically version of optical rectification, in which longitudinal field effects could be as large as the transverse ones.

High Energy Astrophysics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce high energy astrophysics in the context of galaxies and the origin of cosmic rays in our galaxy, as well as the acceleration of high energy particles in magnetic fields.

Physical study of laser-produced plasma in confined geometry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the physical processes involved in laser-produced plasma in confined geometry, and showed that a large fraction of the absorbed laser energy (80% to 90%) is used for the ionization of the medium in these conditions of irradiation.
