Collective charged particle dynamics in relativistically transparent laser-plasma interactions

This thesis reports on experimental and numerical investigations of the collective response of electrons and ions to the interaction of ultra-intense (10²⁰ Wcm⁻²) laser with ultra-thin (nanometre scale) foils undergoing expansion and relativistic induced transparency. The onset of this relativistic...
