Dynamics of recollisions for the double ionization of atoms in intense laser fields

Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of electron-electron recollisions in the double ionization of atoms in strong laser fields. The statistics of recollisions can be reformulated in terms of an area-preserving map from the observation that the outer electron is driven by the laser field to kick the remaining core electrons periodically. The phase portraits of this map reveals the dynamics of these recollisions in terms of their probability and efficiency.
