Abstract
We present a perturbative calculation of the cross section for two-photon free-free transitions in laser-assisted electron-hydrogen scattering within the first Born approximation. The virtual one- and two-photon excitations of the hydrogen atom during the scattering event are taken into account explicitly and their importance is demonstrated for the special case of the hydrogen atom remaining in its ground state after the collision.
