Revealing the role of electron correlation in sequential double ionization

Atomic Physics 2014-04-01 v1

Abstract

The experimental observations of sequential double ionization (SDI) of Ar [A. N. Pfeiffer {\it et al.}, Nature Phys. {\bf 7}, 428 (2011)], such as the four-peak momentum distribution and the ionization time of the first and second electrons, are investigated and reproduced with a quantum model by including and excluding the ee-ee correlation effect. Based on the comparison of experiment and simulation, the role of ee-ee correlation in SDI is discussed. It is shown that the inclusion of ee-ee correlation is necessary to reproduce the momentum distribution of electrons.
