Fusion power may offer a long-term energy supply with an uninterrupted power delivery, a high power-generation density, and no greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to preventing the worst effects of climate change and making an enduring contribution to future energy supply. However, the intense conditions inside a fusion power plant (extreme temperatures and high magnetic fields necessary for nuclear fusion) call for addressing several potential problems. These include the development of new materials with extremely high heat tolerances and low enough vapor pressure and the design of mechanical structures that can withstand the electromagnetic force generated as well as feedback controllers to measure and counteract the unstable modes of evolution of the plasma, to name a few. The future of nuclear fusion as an efficient alternative energy source depends largely on techniques that enable us to control these instabilities. Mathematical modelling and physical experiments attempt to overcome some of the hindrances posed by these complexities. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in this fascinating and critically important field of pure and applied physics, mathematics, and engineering, presenting some of the most recent developments in theory, modelling, algorithms, experiments, and applications.

Parallèlement au développement des lasers de puissance, la physique des plasmas créés par laser n'a cessé de progresser depuis une soixantaine d'années. Parmi les applications de cette discipline, on peut citer la fusion thermonucléaire contrôlée par laser ou l'accélération laser de particules dans les plasmas. Cet ouvrage propose une introduction aux principales notions du domaine. L'objectif est tout d'abord de rappeler les notions de base de physique des plasmas nécessaires dans le contexte. Puis l'ouvrage se focalise davantage sur la physique de l'interaction laser-plasma, et se poursuit avec la présentation du concept d'accélération laser de particules (essentiellement d'électrons) dans les plasmas. Enfin, la troisième et dernière partie de l'ouvrage est consacrée à la présentation de divers aspects de la fusion thermonucléaire contrôlée par laser.Ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants de Master, aux doctorants ou aux chercheurs s'intéressant aux plasmas créés par laser et à leurs applications.
