Description

Outer-shell electrons coherently driven by intense radiation can transfer energy in a direct intra-atomic process to inner-shell excitations. Provided that the effective momentum transfer Δq is sufficiently low (Δqowig10 MeV/u), is evaluated in a limiting form closely resembling the Bethe result for inelastic electron scattering from atoms
