Laser-nucleus interactions: The quasi-adiabatic regime
Laser-nucleus interactions: The quasi-adiabatic regime
The interaction between nuclei and a strong zeptosecond laser pulse with coherent MeV photons is investigated theoretically. We provide a first semi-quantitative study of the quasiadiabatic regime where the photon absorption rate is comparable to the nuclear equilibration rate. In that regime, multiple photon absorption leads to the formation of …
