We consider above-threshold ionization of inert gases within the frame
work of the Keldysh-Faisal-Reiss model. However, we represent the stat
e of the ionized electron by a more precise Coulomb-Volkov wave functi
on. Thus we find sidelobes in the angular distribution of the emitted
electrons at about the right high nonlinear orders and in the correct
angular range as found experimentally for inert gases.
