Comment on ‘The influence of laser-induced drift on the electron’s interaction with crossed laser beams’

Abstract

We point out that in the paper by Jivanyan (2011 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 44 055401) the formulas for the energy change of a particle by perturbation theory and conditions of applicability of perturbation theory are incorrect and there are extensive omissions of citations to previous relevant works, in particular, the exact solution (Haroutunian and Avetissian 1976 Phys. Lett. A 59 115) of the same issue has not been cited.
