This thesis considers the non-equilibrium and energy transfer processes involved in the evolution of astrophysical gases and plasmas. Momentum-energy transfer in collisions of atoms, molecules and ions governs the evolution of interacting astrophysical gas and plasmas. These collisions require an...
High-Resolution Experiments on Strong-Field Ionization of Atoms and Molecules
Test of Tunneling Theory, the Role of Doubly Excited States, and Channel-Selective Electron Spectra
Language: English
Release Date: April 26, 2016
In this thesis, the ionization of atoms and small molecules in strong laser fields is experimentally studied using a reaction microscope. The population of autoionizing doubly excited states in the laser fields is proven and a possible connection to the well-known dielectronic recombination processes...
