Conclusion
The three examples presented here provide benchmark data for the ionization of Helium by a strong electric field. All calculations could be performed on a work station. For example, the time-integration of one point in Fig. 3 required about 40 CPU minutes on a 500 MHz DEC-Alpha work station.
The application of the same method for magnetic fields is straight forward. A study of the Helium bound state spectrum in moderate (by astronomical standards) magnetic fields is currently being made.
