Nonlinear dynamics of recollisions in the double ionization processes of atoms in strong fields

الأصل · EN

Double ionization processes triggered by intense linearly polarized laser fields have revealed the paramount role of electron-electron collisions. It has been shown that the correlated dynamics of such electronic collisions can be modeled by a two dimensional symplectic map which captures the bare essentials of the energy exchange processes occurring during a recollision between the two electrons. We investigate linear and nonlinear properties of this map and connect them to the dynamical organization of phase space and related statistical data
