The cross sections for inelastic neutron scattering and radiative capture in the field of a light wave

The mixing of the levels of a compound nucleus in the field of a high-intensity light wave is considered. The cross sections for inelastic neutron scattering and radiative capture are computed with allowance for this effect. The effect of the electron shell on the effective charge for the dipole interaction between the neutron + nucleus system and the external electromagnetic field is taken into consideration.
