Test particle studies of electron scattering on ions in an oscillatory electromagnetic field
have shown that standard theoretical assumptions of small angle collisions and phase …

It was proposed recently that powerful optical laser pulses could be efficiently compressed
through backward Raman amplification in ionized low density solids, in spite of strong …

The nonlinear absorption of laser radiation of relativistic intensities in a plasma by a
mechanism of stimulated bremsstrahlung of electrons on the ions/nuclei is investigated in …

Electron-ion collisions in the presence of a strong laser field lead to a distribution of fast
electrons with maximum energy E max=(k 0+ 2 v 0) 2∕ 2 (au)⁠, where k 0 is the impact and …

In the interaction of atomic clusters with femtosecond laser pulses, nanoplasmas with high
density and high temperature are created. The heating is mainly determined by inverse …

The energy spectrum and angular distribution of electrons scattered by an ion in a strong
laser field are investigated as a function of the incident electron velocity for small impact …

Collisions of electrons with ions in the presence of an alternating electromagnetic field are
considered. Based on the first principles (the Liouville equations for N particles), a general …

Difficulties of numerical simulations of electron–ion collisions in plasmas irradiated by strong
electromagnetic waves are discussed. It is shown that such simulations must have be …

Rescattering in above threshold ionization (ATI) leads to the formation of a plateau in the
energy distribution of the photo electrons. In the past, the structure of the ATI-plateau has …

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the driving of non-Maxwellian distributions of
particles in high energy density plasmas in a few select cases, with particular reference to …
