Time-dependent functions giving distributions over instantaneous values of electron momenta and energies in a laser Seld are derived. These distribution functions are found for arbitrary values of the ratio of the electron thermal velocity to the electron oscillation velocity. They are necessary in studies of laser-radiation interaction with plasma, laser-plasma x-ray lasers, etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
