Abstract
A hydrodynamic model of the interaction of a short, intense laser puls e with moderate-density gases is constructed. The model systematically takes into account both tunneling-ionization processes and the relati vistic motion of the electrons that are produced by the ionization of the gas in the relativistically strong field of the pulse. X-ray spect roscopy data agree well with the proposed theory. (C) 1998 American In stitute of Physics. [S0021-3640(98)00919-0].
