Relativistic gauge-invariant strong-field approximation for Above-Threshold Ionization — •Michael Klaiber, Karen Z Hatsagortsyan, and Christoph H Keitel — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, D-69117 Heidelberg

A gauge-invariant version of the strong-field approximation is developed for the relativistic treatment of Above-Threshold Ionization (ATI). The gauge invariance is achieved by means of employment of an eigenstate of the physical energy operator for the initial atomic state. Both a comparison and analysis of predictions of the gauge-invariant theory with usual not gauge-invariant results are given for direct ionized electrons. Further we expand the model based on the Klein-Gordon equation by including rescattering of the ionized electron in the relativistic regime.
