Abstract

A number of concepts of particle acceleration by laser fields have been proposed almost since the beginning of the laser evolution. The recent tremendous progress of ultraintense lasers has created new concepts of high energy particle generation and acceleration due to strong field interactions with matter. In a state of the art of ultra‐intense lasers, the highest laser intensities reach a TeV range in terms of the ponderomotive energy exerted on matter. In this paper, the laser‐driven particle acceleration concepts are reviewed on basic mechanism of strong field‐particle beam and plasma interactions. New concepts of super high energy particle acceleration mechanism based on super‐strong laser‐plasma interactions are presented.
