Non-Sequential Double Ionization is a Completely Classical Photoelectric Effect

Atomic Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

We introduce a unified and simplified theory of atomic double ionization. Our results show that at high laser intensities (I1014I \ge 10^{14} watts/cm2^2) purely classical correlation is strong enough to account for all of the main features observed in experiments to date.
