Passion Extreme Light - Exploring High Energy Physics and Laser Technology
Offered By: APS Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the groundbreaking world of extreme-light lasers in this captivating Nobel Prize Session talk by 2018 Nobel Laureate Gérard Mourou. Delve into the universal applications of this powerful technology, from generating high-energy radiations and particles to creating extreme conditions of field, pressure, temperature, and acceleration. Discover how these advancements could potentially answer fundamental physics questions, including the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and information loss in black holes. Learn about wake-field acceleration and its potential for laboratory studies of cosmic phenomena. Examine the possibilities of probing vacuum structure and particle production in "empty" space, pushing the boundaries of QED and QCD regimes. Finally, gain insight into future developments in laser technology, including the generation of attosecond-zeptosecond high-energy coherent pulses in the x-ray domain, and the potential to reach the Schwinger level, zettawatt scale, and PeV regime, ushering in a new era of laser-matter interaction.
