RUI: Photoionization and Photorecombination Processes in Atomic Theory

该项目涉及两个互补过程的理论研究。第一种是强场光电离，即电子在强激光下与原子分离。该领域的研究涉及广泛的计算机建模，主要集中在理解双电离动力学。互补的研究领域是光复合，即电子重新附着在原子上并发光。后一领域的研究将数学形式的发展与计算机应用相结合，以检查可能发生在高温等离子体中的光复合过程。

The project involves theoretical study of two complementary processes. The first is strong-field photoionization, in which electrons are detached from atoms in intense laser light. Studies in this area involve extensive computer modeling and focus primarily on understanding the dynamics of double ionization. The complementary area of study is photorecombination, in which electrons reattach to atoms and emit light. Studies in this latter area combine the development of a mathematical formalism with computer application for examining photorecombination processes that can occur in high-temperature plasmas.
