We consider emission of a photon by an electron in the field of a strong laser wave. Polarization effects in this process are important for a number of physical problems. We discuss a probability of this process for circularly polarized…
We investigate the role of the Coulomb interaction in strong field processes. We find that the Coulomb field of the ion makes its presence known even in highly intense laser fields, in contrast to the assumptions of the strong field…

We investigate the scattering halos resulting from collisions between discrete momentum components in the time-of-flight expansion of interaction-tunable $^6\rm Li_2$ molecular Bose-Einstein condensates. A key highlight of this study is the…
The temperature and density conditions in the magnetized photosphere and chromosphere of the Sun lead to a very small degree of atomic ionization. In addition, at particular height, the magnetic field may be strong enough to give rise to a…
Magnetic fields in turbulent, convective high-$\beta$ plasma naturally develop highly tangled and complex topologies---the solar photosphere being the paradigmatic example. These fields are mostly undetectable by standard diagnostic…
The theory of collisional depolarization of spectral lines by atomic hydrogen (Derouich et al. 2003a; Derouich et al. 2003b) is extended to $f$-atomic levels $(l$=3). Depolarization rates, polarization and population transfer rates are…
Particles in a hidden sector can potentially acquire a small electric charge through their interaction with the Standard Model and can consequently be observed as millicharged particles. We systematically compute the production of…
Velocity gradients in a stellar atmospheric plasma have an impact on the anisotropy of the radiation field that illuminates each point within the medium, and this may in principle influence the scattering line polarization that results from…
With an aim of examining the validity of non-LTE line-formation calculations for the strong C I lines of multiplet 1 at 1.068-1.069 mu~m, especially in terms of the treatment of collisions with neutral hydrogen (H I) atoms, we computed…
The spectral line polarization encodes a wealth of information about the thermal and magnetic properties of the solar atmosphere. Modeling the Stokes profiles of strong resonance lines is, however, a complex problem both from the…
Modern radio spectrometers make measurement of polarized intensity as a function of Faraday depth possible. I investigate the effect of depolarization along a model line of sight. I model sightlines with two components informed by…

We consider here the bremsstrahlung emission of photons at low and intermediate energies $ E_{lab}\le 1000 MeV/u$ of the projectile. and derive expressions more general than previous results obtained by Neuhauser which were limited to the…
Conventional indirect dark matter (DM) searches look for an excess in the electromagnetic emission from the sky that cannot be attributed to known astrophysical sources. Here, we argue that the photon polarisation is an important feature to…
We model the sub-millimetre polarization patterns that are expected for filamentary clouds that are threaded by helical magnetic fields. We previously developed a three parameter model of such clouds (Fiege & Pudritz 2000a), which are…
Raman spectroscopy is a powerful and nondestructive method that is widely used to study the vibrational properties of solids or molecules. Simulations of finite-temperature Raman spectra rely on obtaining polarizabilities along molecular…
