Unexpected Ionization with Ultrashort Laser Pulses
The concept of ionization is not hard to grasp. If you excite an atom enough, an electron can leave, and the atom becomes an ion. But what happens when we start to see anomalies in ionization? Spoiler alert: we can simulate atoms being shot by lasers and see what happens! In this talk we will look into two of these “anomalies” and see why ionization doesn’t always behave how we think it should.
