Periodic Reporting for period 4 - ExCoMet (CONTROLLING AND MEASURING RELATIVISTIC MOTION OF MATTER WITH ULTRAINTENSE STRUCTURED LIGHT)

One of the major achievements of Optics in the last decades has been the generation of light pulses of extremely short duration, down to attoseconds (1 as=10^-18 s). In the femtosecond range (1 fs=10^-15 s), these pulses are now produced with sufficient energies to expose...
