Description
The Kroll-Watson [N.M. Kroll and K. M. Watson, Phys. Rev. A 8, 804 (1973)] theory for electron scattering in the field of a low-frequency laser has been extended by L. Rosenberg [Phys. Rev. A 23, 2283 (1981); 28, 2727 (1983)] to apply to higher intensities. That result is rederived in another way so as to make the correction second order. The correction terms are obtained and shown to be small in the high-intensity low-energy regime in which the original theory is weakest. The special case of a Coulomb potential is analyzed and shown to present special peculiarities in the extended theory just as in the original Kroll-Watson theory
