Multiphoton Ionization and Dissociation: The Phase-space View

智力优势：将使用创新的计算方法研究强激光对原子和分子的影响。重点将放在这些激光从物质中去除电子的方式，以及如何通过使用激光参数（例如强度和偏振）作为控制旋钮来控制这些过程。更广泛的影响：强激光在物理和生物科学中的应用开辟了研究和应用的新领域。这里描述的研究将对依赖于使用当前或预计的激光源的所有学科产生影响。学生将接受使用新的计算程序的培训，这些程序也适用于各个学科。

Intellectual merit: The effect of intense lasers on atoms and molecules will be investigated using innovative computational methods. The emphasis will be on the way these lasers remove electrons from matter, and how these processes can be controlled by using parameters of the laser (such as intensity and polarization) as control knobs.Broader impact: The use of intense lasers in the physical and biological sciences has opened up new frontiers for research and applications. The research described here will have an impact on all disciplines which rely on using current or projected laser sources. Students will be trained in the use of new computational procedures, which are applicable across disciplines also.
