Grants and Contracts Details
Description
Funding is requested to carry out fundamental research on laser-assisted
electron scattering. The work will be carried out on two apparatuses. The
first, which is already in use for such experiments, will be modified to carry
out experiments in potassium on the effects of the "dressing" of atoms by 1.17
eV laser radiation on the scattering process. The second apparatus, which has
up to the present been used for (e,2e) experiments, will be re-purposed to run
laser-assisted scattering experiments and a multipass laser system will be
developed for use on this apparatus. To test this system, initial experiments
will be carried out on 1-, 2-, and 3-photon processes for elastic scattering
in the presence of intense 1.17 eV laser radiation. The apparatus will then be
used to investigate the laser-assisted electron-impact autoionization of
helium.
