Abstract

Intense laser fields affect processes that already take place in their absence or may induce others that are not possible otherwise, e.g., laser-assisted vs. laser-induced processes (for reviews, see [1–3]). Electron—atom scattering on the background of a laser field is an example of the former, single and multiple ionization of the latter. The transfer of energy between the laser field and the charged particles involved can amount to a very large number of laser photons. For the theoretical description, the presence of the laser field poses a formidable challenge (for a recent review, see [4]). Clearly, lowest-order perturbation theory is completely inadequate for the treatment of the laser— atom interaction. Consider a titanium-sapphire laser with ℏω = 1.55 eV and an intensity of I = 1015 Wcm-2. In this case, the so-called Keldysh parameter γ=√|E 0|(2U P), which specifies the ratio of the tunneling time over the laser period, for helium has the value γ = 0.45 < 1 where E 0 denotes the ionization energy of the atom and Up the ponderomotive energy of the laser field; see Sect. 11.3.2.
