Abstract

We address the question of the energy and angular distributions of the photoelectrons ejected from rare gas atoms submitted to ultra-intense infrared laser pulses, with peak intensities I-max approximate to 10(18) W/cm(2). Several unsolved issues regarding the angular distributions of the photoelectrons are analyzed. We believe that our results should help to trigger new investigations.
