The Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac (LAD) equation has proved valuable in describing the motion of radiating electric charges but suffers from runaway, pre-acceleration and other ambiguities. The usual scheme is problematic because of locality, which…
Angular dependence of photoemission time delay for the valence $np_{3/2}$ and $np_{1/2}$ subshells of Ar, Kr and Xe is studied in the dipole relativistic random phase approximation. Strong angular anisotropy of the time delay is reproduced…
Attosecond streaking of atomic photoemission holds the promise to provide unprecedented information on the release time of the photoelectron. We show that attosecond streaking phase shifts indeed contain timing (or spectral phase)…
Parity mixing in photoionization, i.e. when emitted electrons have different parities but the same energy, causes interference observable only in angle-resolved measurements. The interference typically manifests as a symmetry violation in…
Attosecond pulses can ionize atoms in a coherent process. Since the emerging fragments are entangled, however, each preserves only a fraction of the initial coherence, thus limiting the chance of guiding the ion subsequent evolution. In…
Phase and time delays of atomic above-threshold ionization were recently experimentally explored in an $\omega -2\omega$ setting [Zipp et al, Optica 1, 361 (2014)]. The phases of wavepackets ejected from argon by a strong $2\omega$ pulse…

We study ionization of aligned H$_2^+$ in strong elliptically-polarized laser fields numerically and analytically. The calculated offset angle in photoelectron momentum distribution is several degrees larger for the molecule than a model…

The force exerted on a material by an incident beam of light is dependent upon the material's velocity in the laboratory frame of reference. This velocity dependence is known to be diffcult to measure, as it is proportional to the incident…

We argue that the asymmetry between diverging and converging electromagnetic waves is just one of many asymmetries in observed phenomena that can be explained by a past hypothesis and statistical postulate (together assigning probabilities…

Shape resonances in photoionization of atoms and molecules arise from a particular geometry of the ionic potential which traps the receding photoelectron in a quasi-bound state in a particular partial wave. This mechanism allows us to…
Shake-up is a fundamental phenomenon in photoionisation of many-electron systems whereby the ionisation of one electron is accompanied by the simultaneous excitation of another. As a single-photon two-electron excitation, it is the most…
