Description

A formalism is developed for studying electron-capture processes in ion-atom collisions in the presence of intense radiation fields that are obtainable with lasers. The method is based on expansion of the total state in terms of the product of the atomic eigenstates and the photon states. It is applied to study the process of electron capture into the ground state of hydrogen in H+-He collisions in the presence of radiation of wavelength between 2000 and 6000 A and intensity between 1012 and 1014 W/cm2 for incident-ion energy varying between 5 and 20 keV
