H2+ ionization by ultra-short electromagnetic pulses investigated through a non-perturbative Coulomb-Volkov approach

The sudden Coulomb-Volkov theoretical approximation has been shown to well describe atomic ionization by intense and ultra-short electromagnetic pulses, such as pulses generated by very fast highly-charged ions. This approach is extended here to investigate single ionization of homonuclear diatomic...

description The sudden Coulomb-Volkov theoretical approximation has been shown to well describe atomic ionization by intense and ultra-short electromagnetic pulses, such as pulses generated by very fast highly-charged ions.
