This paper reports an analytic estimate developed from a multiphoton model of the cross section for the absorption of a γ-ray photon when the nuclear recoil is compensated by the simultaneous absorption of an optical photon from the radiation field of a high power laser. Tabulated data show 22 experimentally accessible nuclear transitions which might be expected to demonstrate this effect.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS Calculated B(E1) for multiphoton absorption; γ+optical photon from laser.
