Muonic atoms in strong laser fields — •Atif Shahbaz1, Carsten Müller1, Thomas J. Bürvenich1,2, and Christoph H. Keitel1 — 1Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany — 2Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Max-von-Laue-Str. 1, 60438 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
We study the influence of an intense laser wave on a muonic atom. The large muon mass can be accounted for by separating the centre-of-mass and relative coordinates of motion. Scaling laws in terms of the muon mass are reviewed and applied to strong-field ionization and high-harmonic generation. It is found that the maximum harmonic frequency achievable with an electronic or muonic atom is practically identical, although much stronger fields can be applied to the latter. In addition, we consider the muonic bound-state dynamics in view of possible laser-induced nuclear reactions.
