Abstract
Inelastic processes and the reemission of attosecond and shorter electromagnetic pulses by atoms have been considered within the analytical solution of the Schrödinger equation in the sudden perturbation approximation. A method of calculations with the exact inclusion of spatial inhomogeneity of the field of an ultrashort pulse and the momenta of photons in the reemission processes has been developed. The results have been presented in the form of analytical formulas. The probabilities of inelastic processes and spectra of reemission of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses by single-electron atoms have been calculated.
