Hierarchic Electrodynamics and Free Electron Lasers

<p><strong>Hierarchic Electrodynamics and Free Electron Lasers: Concepts Calculations and Practical Applications</strong> presents intriguing new fundamental concepts in the phenomenon of hierarchical electrodynamics as a new direction in physics. Concentrating on the key theory of hierarchic oscillations and waves this book focuses on the numerous applications of nonlinear theory in different types of high-current Free Electron Lasers (FEL) including their primary function in the calculation methods used to analyze various multi-resonant multi-frequency nonlinear FEL models.</p><p><strong><em>This is considered the first book to:</em></strong></p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Completely and systematically describe the foundation of hierarchical electrodynamics as a new direction of physics</li> <li>Fully represent the physics of high-current FEL—and associated models—from the hierarchic oscillation wave perspective </li> <li>Cover the multi-harmonic nonlinear theory of new types of electronic devices such as plasma-beam and two-stream FEL</li> <li>Formulate and substantiate the concept of cluster femtosecond FEL</li> <li>Analyze practical prospects for a new generation of a global Star Wars strategic defense systems</li> </ul><p>These subjects involve a wide range of disciplines. Using numerous real-world examples to illustrate information and concepts the book offers a mathematical foundation to explore FEL applications as well as analyze hierarchic plasma-like electrodynamic systems and femto-second clusters of electromagnetic energy. Assembling fragmented concepts from existing literature the author re-examines classic approaches in order to develop new insights and achieve scientific breakthroughs. </p>
