Abstract

We study fully differential cross sections (FDCS) for single ionization of helium by ion impact in the presence of a laser field. The field is assumed to have linear polarization, to be weak compared to the typical atomic field, and we use a frequency corresponding to a CO2 laser. We employ the continuum distorted wave-eikonal initial state (CDW-EIS) to describe our FDCS in the laser background. Analysing our numerical results we explore the dependence of the FDCS on the laser field properties as well as on the ionized electron parameters.
