Multiphoton Processes in Atoms

Multiphoton ionization of atoms in intense laser-light
fields is gaining      ground as a spectroscopic diagnostic tool.
In this volume, Delone and         Krainov present their and
others' theoretical description of the process      occurring in
atoms under conditions of multi-photon impacts,                        in
particular, the shift, broadening, and mixing of electronic
states   which complicate the interpretation of spectra.
The topics of individual      chapters include tunneling
ionization, above-threshold ionization,               ionization of
multiply charged ions, resonance-enhenced                              ionization,
super-intense radiation fields, and properties of                     Rydberg
states in strong fields.
