Polarization Effects in Two-Photon Free-Free Transitions in Laser-Assisted Electron-Hydrogen Collisions
Abstract
Two-photon free-free transitions in elastic laser-assisted electron-hydrogen collisions are studied in the domain of high scattering energies and low or moderate field intensities, in the third order of perturbation theory, taking into account all the involved Feynman diagrams. Based on the analytical expressions of the transition amplitudes, the differential cross sections for two-photon absorption/emission are computed at impact energy Ei=100 eV. The effect of field polarizations on the angular distribution and on the frequency dependence of the differential cross section is analyzed.
