Angle-resolved Wigner time delay in atomic photoionization: The 4 d subshell of free and confined Xe

The angular dependence of photoemission time delay for the inner nd 3/2 and nd 5/2 subshells of free and confined Xe is studied in the dipole relativistic random phase approximation. A finite spherical annular well potential is used to model the confinement due to fullerene C 60 cage. Near cancellations in a variety of the dipole amplitudes, Cooper-like minima, are found. Overall, the effects of confinement on the angular dependence, primarily confinement resonances, are demonstrated and detailed.

Near- K -edge single, double, and triple photoionization of C + ions

Single, double, and triple ionization of the C + ion by a single photon have been investigated in the energy range 286 to 326 eV around the K-shell single-ionization threshold at an unprecedented level of detail. At energy resolutions as low as 12 meV, corresponding to a resolving power of 24 000, natural linewidths of the most prominent resonances could be determined. From the measurement of absolute cross sections, oscillator strengths, Einstein coefficients, multielectron Auger decay rates, and other transition parameters of the main K-shell excitation and decay processes are derived. The cross sections are compared to results of previous theoretical calculations. Mixed levels of agreement are found despite the relatively simple atomic structure of the C + ion with only five electrons. Finally, this paper is a followup to a previous Letter [A. Müller, Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 013002 (2015)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.114.013002].

Dynamical electron vortices in attosecond double photoionization of H 2

We study electron momentum vortices in single-photon double ionization of H 2 by time-delayed, counter-rotating, elliptically polarized attosecond pulses propagating along kˆ either parallel or perpendicular to the molecular axis R. For ˆk∥R, kinematical vortices occur similar to those found for He. For kˆ⊥R, we find dynamical vortex structures originating from an ellipticity-dependent interplay of 1 Σ$^{+}_{u}$ and 1 Π$^{+}_{u}$ continuum amplitudes. Furthermore, we propose a complete experiment to determine the magnitudes and relative phase of these amplitudes by varying pulse ellipticities and time delays.

Comment on “Large Enhancement in High-Energy Photoionization of Fe XVII and Missing Continuum Plasma Opacity”

Recent R-matrix calculations claim to provide a significant enhancement in the opacity of Fe XVII due to atomic core excitations and assert that this enhancement is consistent with recent measurements of higher-than-predicted iron opacities. Here this comment shows that the standard opacity models which have already been directly compared with experimental data produce photon absorption cross-sections for Fe XVII that are effectively equivalent to the R-matrix opacities reported in.

Response to FESAC survey, Non-Fusion Connections to Fusion Energy Sciences. Long Duration Directional Drives for Star Formation and Photoionization

Due to the iconic status of the pillars of the Eagle Nebula, this research will bring popular attention to plasma physics, HED laboratory physics, and fundamental science at NIF and other experimental facilities. The result will be to both to bring new perspectives to the studies of hydrodynamics in inertial confinement fusion and HED scenarios in general, and to promote interest in the STEM disciplines.
