Abstract
We report for the first time on the study of electron scattering in th ree-dimensional continuous laser beams by a computer simulation techni que with emphasis on investigating the transition from conventionally elastic to inelastic scattering. The crucial factors for an inelastic scattering are found to be the strength of laser fields (Q = eA/m(e)c( 2) > 0.1) and small incident angles (theta much less than pi/4).
