    Toshiki Tajima List of Publications (4/02/2018) The search for citation numbers of the publications has been done using Google Scholar and Web of Science. Because of the search engines do slightly differently as well as the choice of key words chosen are slightly different, we find that though they show some general agrément with each other, tehre sometimes miss particular article citations all together. Thus, we should be aware that some of the publications are still unaccounted for by both of the search engines. (Google Scholar Citations are shown starting with Gxxx at the end of the publications that were counted based on search with the key words of ‘plasma physics’, ‘accelerators’, and ‘lasers’. The total number of citations: 23346; h-index: 71; i10-index 276 (as of 12/20/2017 Google Scholar).
