Relativistic electron-ion recombination assisted by an intense laser field — •Carsten Müller, Alexander B. Voitkiv, and Bennaceur Najjari — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg

Radiative recombination of a relativistic electron with a highly charged ion in the presence of a strong laser field is considered. Various relativistic effects, arising from the high energy of the incoming electron and its strong coupling to the intense laser field, are found to clearly manifest themselves in the energy spectra of the emitted γ-photons. Moreover, characteristic shifts in the angular distributions are caused by the impact of the laser photon momentum.
