Abstract

The light-induced correction to the Rutherford cross section, linear in the intensity, is derived, with an accurate account for the Coulomb potential in the nonrelativistic dipole approximation. Various limits are investigated. A specific asymmetry is discovered, which consists in a dependence of the cross section on the sign of the photon circular polarization.
