Abstract

We investigate the laser induced recombination of electrons to excited states of hydrogen-like ions. The time integration and averaging over incidente− energies are performed analytically for a model Hamiltonian, which takes into account the degeneracy of the states and possible resonant transitions to lower lying states. The range of validity of the model assumptions is determined by comparison with numerical calculations using the exact Hamiltonian. For an arrangement of merged laser, ion and electron beams we calculated the recombination yields as a function of the laser pulse energy to then=5 to 20 states of hydrogen like ions with nuclear charges fromZ=1 to 4.
