Summary
A theory is developed for inelastic collisions of a charged particle by a hydrogenic atom in the presence of an intense electromagnetic field. The theory is applied to electron-hydrogen atom collision for one-photon absorption and the transition 1s–2s. We calculate the differential and total cross-sections, in the first Born approximation, for different orientations of initial momentum of incident electron and electric field and different values of frequency and intensity of fields.
Riassunto
Si presenta una teoria per le collisioni anelastiche di una particella carica con un atomo idrogenoide in presenza di un campo elettromagnetico intenso. La teoria è applicata alla collisione elettrone-idrogeno con assorbimento di un fotone e transizione 1s–2s dell'idrogeno. Si calcolano le sezioni d'urto differenziali e totali, nella prima approssimazione di Born, per differenti orientazioni del campo elettrico e per diversi valori della frequenza e dell'intensità del campo.
