A note on the polarization of the laser field in Mott Scattering

Atomic Physics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

In the first Born approximation and using an elliptically polarized laser field, the Mott scattering of an electron by a Coulomb potential is investigated using the Dirac-Volkov states to describe the incident and scattered electrons. The results obtained are compared with the results of S.M. Li \textit{et al} \cite{1} for the case of a linearly polarized laser field and with the results of Y. Attaourti \textit{et al} \cite{2} for the case of a circular polarization.
