Abstract
Substantial progress has been achieved in recent years in the theoretical understanding of the nonperturbative interaction of one-electron atoms (e.g., hydrogen) with intense laser fields. (For an overall survey, see the volume quoted in Ref.1.) In contrast, the behavior of two- and several-electron atoms under these circumstances is at an incipient stage of study. The general case, when nonperturbative field effects are comparable in magnitude with electron correlation, is a formidable problem indeed, for which best suited theoretical approaches and computational methods still need to be worked out.

It has been proven mathematically that there exists only one bound state in the manifold of the ground state. However, another bound state has been computed in the manifold 3Pg (L = 1, S = 1, even parity); this is the doubly excited state (2p)23Pg, having the very small affinity of 0.0095 eV (with respect to the H(2p) threshold).

This condition refers to a constant intensity field. A related issue is that of the survival of the atom during the rise of the intensity in a realistic laser pulse, so that it can actually be exposed to the highest intensities in the pulse. This issue will be discussed elsewhere.

With these at hand one could carry out a Hartree-Fock type calculation, that would represent an alternative way to solve the eigenvalue problem at intermediate αO, where electron correlation is not too important.
