Scattering ponderomotive

Salamin and Faisal (1996,1997) analysed harmonic generation and the ponderomotive scattering of electrons in intense laser fields based on a classical relativistic... 

The results of this classical relativistic calculations (Salamin and Faisal 1997) are presented in Figure 1.5 and compared with experimentally deduced ponderomotive scattering angles 0 (Meyerhofer et al. 19% Moore et al. 1995) as a function of the escape kinetic energy AT of the electron. 

The rest of Section I contains a summary of the general concepts used throughout this article. Section II contains a statistical-mechanical derivation of Maxwell s equations in matter. Section III deals with the problem of the ponderomotive force in a dielectric. In Section IV we give the theory of refraction of light in a medium of isotropic molecules, having a polarizability which is a function of intermolecular distances. We also calculate in this section the polarizability as a function of intermolecular distances in a very simple case (helium gas). Finally, Section V is concerned with the theory of light scattering.
