Abstract

Resonant spectra of highly charged ions are evaluated numericallyin the presence of super intense high-frequency laser pulses up to1022 $\un{W/cm^2}$. The associated field strengths are stillsmall compared to those inherent in highly charged ions,restricting us to the relativistic multiphoton regime. We predictthe emission of hard X-ray radiation due to near-resonantmultiphoton interaction with clear relativistic signatures for theone-electron ions $\chem{Xe^{53+}}$ and $\chem{U^{91+}}$.
