Abstract

The simple model of potential scattering of electrons in the presence of a laser field provides a good account of the main features of multiphoton free-free transitions processes in a wide range of laser frequencies and projectile energies.1,2The exchange of photons between the electron and the field occuring during the scattering process can be accounted for on using either a perturbative or a non-perturbative approach, depending on the laser radiation field intensity and frequency.
