“…The spatial homogeneity of the Iaser beam and its importance on the free-free cross sections has been examined by Daniele et al (1981Daniele et al ( , 1983b, Gayet and %ylor (1983) and most successfully by Bivona et al (1985), who obtained good agreement with the results of Weingartshofer el al (1983). Nevertheless, a complete and detailed analysis of the multiphoton experiments was impossible due to an incomplete howledge of all the experimental conditions and therefore it still proved impractical to test with any hue rigour the approximations of the soft-photon theory.…”

New insights into our understanding of the fundamental electronatom collision process have been made possible by combining the use of highly monochromatic electron beams and intense laser radiation. This paper reviews recent experimental effort in laser-assisted electron scattering with particular emphasis upon free-free (inverse bremsstrahlung) collisions. The excitation of an atom by simultaneous absorption of photon@) and kinetic energy from the incident electron, the so-called SEPE process, is also discussed. The role of resonance formation in such mlliion aoss sections is shown to be of major importance and reveals new information on the dynamics of the collision process.Modem theoretical treatments of such laserassisted collisions are examined and shown to be only partially successful in explaining modern experimental results. The need for more rigorous theoretical calculations is clearly shown.
