✦ Synopsis

We report unpublished experimental results of Photon-Assisted Tunneling (PAT) in the transition region between the quantum mechanical and classical limits. Using these results, we show that there is a discrepancy between the Tien-Gordon theory of Quasiparticle Photon-Assisted Tunneling and experiment in this region. Finally, we show that the modified Tien-Gordon theory is also valid in this region.
