Recent progress in experimental studies of laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) in ultrashort intense laser fields is reviewed. After a brief survey of theoretical backgrounds of the LAES process and earlier LAES experiments started in 1970’s, new phenomena induced by LAES experiments in ultrashort intense laser fields and expected applications of these experiments are discussed. A new experimental setup designed for measurements of LAES induced by ultrashort intense laser fields is described. Experimental results of energy spectra, angular distributions, and laser polarization dependence of the LAES signals are presented with corresponding results of numerical simulations. A light-dressing effect appearing in the LAES signals to be obtained under our experimental conditions is also examined by numerical calculations. In addition, as an application of the LAES process, the determination of instantaneous geometrical structure of molecules by a novel technique of laser-assisted electron diffraction is introduced.
