Description

This volume focuses on recent advances in the investigation of the interaction of intense electromagnetic fields with free electrons, a rapidly developing field following the advent of sufficiently powerful lasers in the last 20 years. Topics covered include multiphoton stimulated bremsstrahlung; stimulated Compton scattering and in particular the Kapitza-Dirac effect; free electron lasers and laser acceleration of electrons; above-threshold ionization; electron wave packets in the continuum and in the region of Rydberg levels, their production, features and resulting coherent effects; and coherent phenomena arising during photoionization of Rydberg atoms in the limit of strongly ionizing fields.

Table of Contents

  • Stimulated Bremsstrahlung
  • multiphoton stimulated Bremsstrahlung
  • spontaneous and stimulated compton scattering
  • ponderomotive potential, Kapitza-Dirac effect and transverse electron channeling in a standing wave
  • free electron lasers
  • laser acceleration of electrons
  • wave packets and their free evolution
  • wave packets in the theory of MSB
  • free-free and bound-free field-induced coherent transitions in a single atom
  • above-threshold ionization - perturbation theory and semi-classical approach, method of essential states, AC Stark shift and ponderomotive acceleration, ATI in the limit of extremely short pulses, harmonic generation
  • interference suppression of photoionization from Rydberg levels in a strong ionizing field.
