Electron Scattering Processes in Non-Monochromatic and Relativistically Intense Laser Fields

The theoretical analysis of four fundamental laser-assisted non-linear scattering processes are summarized in this review. Our attention is focused on Thomson, Compton, Møller and Mott scattering in the presence of intense electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the phenomena under considerations, we model the laser field as a single laser pulse of ultrashort duration (for Thomson and Compton scattering) or non-monochromatic trains of pulses (for Møller and Mott scattering)
