We analyze photoionization of hydrogen in the presence of a strong static electric fielda.u. Such a field essentially modifies the spectrum of the unperturbed atom. Even the groundstate acquires a non-negligible width, while the higher field-free bound states become overlapping resonances. At the same time, static-field-induced states (SFISs) found recently [A. V. Gets and O. I. Tolstikhin, Phys. Rev. A 87, 013419 (2013)PLRAAN1050-294710.1103/PhysRevA.87.013419] emerge in the field-free continuum. We formulate the theory of photoionization from a decaying initial state and define appropriate observables—the reduced photoionization rate and transverse momentum distribution of photoelectrons. These observables are calculated for the four initial states withand 2 in the different polarization cases. The SFISs are shown to manifest themselves as distinct peaks in the observables. Remarkably, even broad SFISs can be seen as narrow well-pronounced peaks at fields where their widths are comparable to that of the initial state. Such a resonance enhancement of the manifestations of SFISs is the main finding of this paper. This finding suggests that SFISs should manifest themselves also in photoelectron momentum distributions produced by photoionization in the presence of a quasistatic field of intense low-frequency laser pulses currently used in strong-field physics.
