High-Order Harmonic Generation in Helium: A Comparison Study

Atomic Physics 2024-03-06 v3 Computational Physics

Abstract

We report a detailed study of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in helium. When comparing predictions from a single-active-electron model with those from all-electron simulations, such as ATTOMESA and R-matrix with time-dependence, which can include different numbers of states in the close-coupling expansion, it seems imperative to generate absolute numbers for the HHG spectrum in a well-defined framework. While qualitative agreement in the overall frequency dependence of the spectrum, including the cut-off frequency predicted by a semi-classical model, can be achieved by many models in arbitrary units, only absolute numbers can be used for benchmark comparisons between different approaches.
