Laser assisted proton collision on light nuclei at moderate energies

Abstract

We present analytic angular differential cross section model for laser assisted proton nucleon scattering on a Woods-Saxon optical potential where the nth-order photon absorption is taken into account simultaneously. As a physical example we calculate cross sections for proton - ${}^{12}$C collision at 49 MeV in the laboratory frame where the laser intensity is in the range of $10^7-10^{21}$ W/cm${}^2$ at optical frequencies. The upper intensity limit is slightly below the relativistic regime.
