We study the electron scattering from the freely movable spin-5 proton in the presence of a linearly polarized laser field in the first Born approximation. The dressed state of the electron is described by a time-dependent wave function derived from a perturbation treatment (in a laser field). With the aid of numerical results we explore the dependencies of the differential cross section (DCS) on the electron-impact energy. Due to the mobility of the target, the DCS of this process is modified compared to the Mott scattering, especially in large scattering angles. PACS number(s): 34.80.Qb, 34.80.Dp Physics related to the radiative processes experienced by free electrons inside a strong electrom agnetic field w ere studied since the advent o f laser sources in the early 1960s [1,2]. An overview on this field can be found in the textbooks by Faisal [3], M ittlem an [4], Fedorov [5], and som e other recent papers [6-8]. M ost o f these studies are carried out in the regim e o f nonrelativistic collisions and for low-or m oderate-field intensities. There are also som e studies that have been carried out to investigate theoretically the relativistic potential. In the presence o f ultrastrong lasers, a relativistic treatm ent becom es im perative (even for slow electrons). In the treatm ents o f Refs. [9-11], effects related to the electron spin have been neglected, and the electron has been considered as a K lein-G ordon particle. Based on the theory of Refs. [12,13], Szym anow ski e ta l. [14] and Szym anow ski and M aquet [15] investigated the spin effect in the relativistic potential scattering in the presence o f a circularly polarized field. However, as they stated, the resulting expression for the circularly polarized field turned out to be m ore tractable than for the general case o f elliptical or linear polarizations, and then Li et al. studied the case o f a linearly polarized field [16], A ttaourti et al. studied the cases o f circularly and elliptically polarized fields [17], and M anaut et al. investigated the case o f polarized electrons [18]. The present B rief Report addresses the problem o f an electron scattering off the freely m ovable target in the presence o f a m onochrom atic linearly polarized hom ogeneous laser field. The aim o f this B rief R eport is to add som e physical insight and to show the m odification o f a differential cross section (DCS) due to the m ovable target and com pare it to the case o f M ott scattering. We investigate, to be specific, the recoil effect in relativistic scattering o f an electron from a freely m ovable proton. A DCS is derived by the trace procedure with the aid o f FEYNCALC [19] and M athem atica, and a sim plified form is given for specific cases. U nless specifically stated, atom ic units h = m = e = 1 are used throughout, and the m etric tensor is g^ = diag(l,-1,-1,-1).In the regim e o f laser field intensity as considered in this B rief Report, the field can be treated as classically, w hich does not allow pair creation [20], its four-potential that sa...
