Eikonal Approximation for Floquet Scattering
Abstract
The eikonal approximation (EA) is widely used in various high-energy scattering problems. In this work we generalize this approximation from the scattering problems with time-independent Hamiltonian to the ones with periodical Hamiltonians, i.e., the Floquet scattering problems. We further illustrate the applicability of our generalized EA via the scattering problem with respect to a shaking spherical square-well potential, by comparing the results given by this approximation and the exact ones. The generalized EA we developed is helpful for the research of manipulation of high-energy scattering processes with external field, e.g., the manipulation of atom, molecule or nuclear collisions or reactions via strong laser fields.
