Annotation

The interference peculiarities of absorption and emission of external laser field quanta by a spatially narrow electron wave packet during its scattering at a potential center are considered. The angular and energy distributions for an electron due to scattering in a laser field are obtained and analyzed within the framework of the perturbation theory based on interaction with the potential center. A new mechanism of effective heating of plasma produced in a cluster under the effect of intense external laser field is found. Drastic changes in angular distribution due to the interference of incident and scattered parts of an electron wave packet are revealed.
