Scattering of X-ray Ultrashort Laser Pulses on Bound Electrons in Dense Plasma

Abstract

We considered the resonance scattering of ultrashort laser pulses (USLP) on the bound electrons of hydrogen-like ions in a dense plasma. A process description was proposed in terms of full scattering probability during the time of pulse action. Dense plasma’s effect was demonstrated at the resonance scattering cross-section spectrum, and the probability dependence on USLP carrier frequency and duration was obtained for the cases of isolated ions and ions in a dense plasma.
