Summary of Research Activity
- Nonlinear laser-plasma interaction (anomalous absorption and scattering, parametric processes and harmonic generation, self generation of magnetic fields, nonthermal emission, nonlocal laser-plasma coupling, fluctuations in a plasma, self-focusing of laser beams).
- Plasma turbulence (nonthermal fluctuations, parametric turbulence, ion-acoustic turbulence, magnetic turbulence, anomalous transport and nonlinear effects due to turbulence);
- Transport phenomena in a hot plasma (nonlocal transport coefficients, heat flux inhibition, electron susceptibility of collisional plasma, penetration of electromagnetic wave in a plasma, relaxation of hot spots, electron distribution functions in highly inhomogeneous plasma);
- Nonlinear vortical dynamics of a plasma (Weibel instability, electron vortexes of anisotropic plasma, nonlinear self-consistent magnetic structures, group methods of vortical dynamics).
- Physics of ultrashort laser pulses and laser-triggered particle acceleration (plasma heating, generation of relativistic electron beams, high energy ion production, secondary emissions, and nuclear reactions with table-top lasers, Coulomb explosion);
- Short free electron laser pulses interaction with matter (photoionization, anisotropic electron distribution function, relaxation of photoionized plasma, instabilities of photoionized plasma).
