Abstract

We present analytical estimates for high-energy plateau cutoff positions in the spectra of the most common laser-atom processes (above-threshold detachment/ionization, high-harmonic generation and laser-assisted electron-atom scattering) for the case of an elliptically polarized, low-frequency laser field.
