One of the most significant developments in computational atomic and molecular physics in
recent years has been the introduction of B-spline basis sets in calculations of atomic and …

The method of quasienergy states (QES) for describing a quantum system in the field of a
monochromatic light wave is presented. The perturbation theory for QES and quasistationary …

This book is written for graduate students just beginning research, for theorists curious about
what experimentalists actually can and do measure, and for experimentalists bewildered by …

We review the phenonomena which occur in multiphoton physics when the electric field of
the applied laser radiation becomes comparable with the Coulomb field strength seen by an …

This book discusses the physics of plasma initiation and reviews the features of dissipating,
propagating plasmas. It deals with advances in diagnostics for high-energy, laser-fusion …

The rapid growth of the subject since the first edition ten years ago has made it necessary to
rewrite the greater part of the book. Except for the introductory portion and the section on …

Multiphoton Processes in Atoms in intense laser-light fields is gaining ground as a
spectroscopic diagnostic tool. The authors present descriptions of processes occurring in …

Up to quadruply charged ions are induced in Xe atoms by a 50-psec laser pulse at 0.53 μm
in the 10 12 W cm− 2 range. The mechanism of the formation of Xe 2+ ions is elucidated. In …

Presents an overview of the current understanding of multiphoton ionization of atoms. It
begins with an introductory section to explain the background of the subject. Then the article …

Abstract Above-Threshold Ionization (ATI) is the name given to the absorption by an atomic
electron of more photons than are required for ionization. ATI was discovered in 1979 and is …
