Laser-assisted electron scattering in strong-field ionization of dense water vapor by ultrashort laser pulses by M Wilke, R Al-Obaidi, A Moguilevski, A Kothe, N Engel, J Metje, I Yu Kiyan, E F Aziz

“…This change is associated with the process of laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) on neighboring particles, which becomes a dominant mechanism of hot electron emission at higher medium densities. The manifestation of this mechanism is found to require densities that are orders of magnitude lower than those considered for heating the laser-generated plasmas via the LAES process. …”
