Single and Multiple Ionization in Strong Ion-Induced Fields

摘要: This Chapter summarizes a wealth of recent results, obtained within less than decade, on correlated few-particle quantum dynamics explored in the fragmentation atoms being exposed to strong (1015-1021 W/cm2), attosecond (10-18 s) electromagnetic half-cycle pulses that are generated collisions with fast highly charged ions as illustrated Fig. 21.1. With development “Reaction Microscopes” (see Chap. 2.1 and 2.8 this book) 1994 [1], breakthrough experimental investigation atomic has been achieved, allowing for first time access final-state vectormomenta several electrons recoiling target ion high resolution and, large extent, independent their relative energies emission directions. In other words, these techniques enable simultaneous mapping major part, typically more 80%, complete multi-dimensional (9D single ionization) momentum space, thus, visualizing square many-particle wave function, will be below.
