Physics : My third article has been published

En français

My third article has been published as a Fast Track Communication.
The title is : "On the importance of inner-shell contributions to multiphoton ionization of complex atoms in the VUV regime"
It follows the second one : "Two-photon emission of a 2p electron from Ne+ and consequences for sequential double ionization of Ne"

Using the R-matrix-Floquet approach, we studied the two-photon ionization of ground-state Ne+ irradiated by a laser light of intensity 10^14 W.cm-2.
The importance of the contribution of emission of a 2s electron is demonstrated by comparing the ionization rates obtained for emission of a 2p electron only with ionization rates obtained for emission of 2p and 2s electron.
We find that the ionization rate is enhanced by an order of magnitude when inner-shell processes are included.
