We present R-Matrix with time dependence (RMT) calculations for the photoionization of helium irradiated by an EUV laser pulse and an overlapping IR pulse with an emphasis on the anisotropy parameters of the sidebands generated by the dressing laser field. We investigate how these parameters depend on the amount of atomic structure included in the theoretical model for two-photon ionization. To verify the accuracy of the RMT approach, our theoretical results are compared with experiment.PACS numbers: 31.15.A-,32.80.Rm
We apply time-dependent R-matrix theory to study inner-shell ionization of C atoms in ultrashort highfrequency light fields with a photon energy between 170 and 245 eV. At an intensity of 10 17 W/cm 2 , ionization is dominated by single-photon emission of a 2 electron, with two-photon emission of a 1s electron accounting for about 2-3% of all emission processes, and two-photon emission of 2 contributing about 0.5-1%. Three-photon emission of a 1s electron is estimated to contribute about 0.01-0.03%. Around a photon energy of 225 eV, two-photon emission of a 1s electron, leaving C + in either 1s2s2p 3 or 1s2p 4 , is resonantly enhanced by intermediate 1s2s 2 2p 3 states. The results demonstrate the capability of time-dependent R-matrix theory to describe inner-shell ionization processes including rearrangement of the outer electrons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
