Probing Wigner time delays with photoelectron interferometry: Anisotropic long-range imprint of the short-range centrifugal potential

Abstract

We consider the two-photon ionization of Hydrogen-like atoms. We find an approximate expression of the long-range phase based on an asymptotic expansion of the continuum eigenfunctions within the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation. Combined with commonly used perturbative approaches, the resulting analytic formalism can treat, at the same time, the two-photon propensity rules, the anisotropy in the continuum-continuum photoionization time delay and the soft-photon regime.
