Abstract
The presence of a chaotic laser field with a bandwidth is shown to lead to new resonancelike structures in the double-differential cross sections for electron scattering from a real atomic system, in contrast to potential scattering. On the basis of the exact results, a simpler procedure is suggested to estimate the magnitude of this effect, which explicitly invokes the laser line-shape function and demonstrates how the field correlations affect the projectile and the bound system in markedly different ways. Finally, the feasibility of experimentally detecting these new features is discussed.Keywords
