Radiation-matter interaction in the space translation method

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

The space translation (ST) method frequently used to treat the radiation-matter interaction in the high-intensity domain is reconsidered. Limitations of the usual ST working program are pointed out together with the related difficulties in the evaluation of transition amplitudes. The theory of potential scattering in the presence of a strong radiation field within the ST method is considered as well, and a recent approximate treatment discussed.

Riassunto

Il metodo della «space translation» (ST) usato frequentemente nell'interazione radiazione-materia in regimi di alta intensità è riconsiderato. Alcune limitazioni del programma di lavoro della ST nel calcolo delle ampiezze di transizione sono messe in evidenza. Viene anche considerata la teoria della diffusione da potenziale nell'ambito del metodo della ST e viene discusso un recente trattamento approssimato.

Резюме

Заново рассмтривается метод трансляции пространства, часто используемый для изучения взаимодействия излучения с веществом в области высоких интенсивностей. Отмечаются ограничения обычного метода трансляции пространства, а также трудности, возникающие при вычислении амплитуд переходов. Исследуется теория потенциального рассеяния в присутствии сильного поля излучения в рамках метода трансляции иространства, а также обсуждаются недавние приближенные рассмотрения.
