Abstract
In recent years very high intensity short-pulse lasers with high repitition rates have been available in the laboratories. This has led to investigations of laser-atom interaction processes at hitherto unaccessable domains of double ionization signals vs. field intensity. Furthermore, new detection techniques have opend up the possibility of measurements of momentum distributions of the emitted electrons and ions in coincidence. Thus, for example, double ionization yields of He atom interacting with intense short pulse lasers have been measured (e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]). More recently the momentum distributions of the two electrons emitted in double ionization of noble gas atoms have been determined via the measurement of the recoil momentum of the doubly charged ions in coincidence with an electron [7, 8]. These results provide important new tests of the mechanism of double ionization process in intense ultrashort laser pulses.
