Attosecond interferometry of neon atom: photoelectron angular distributions

Abstract

In the paper we present the angular distributions of photoelectrons in ionization of neon atom by a field of several multiple frequencies. The considered setup is refered to the RABBITT (Reconstruction of Attosecond Beating By Interference of Two-photon Transitions) spectroscopy under condition that the field frequencies are selected in such a way that resonant transitions through discrete states play an important role. The role of the phase of the seed infrared field on the angular distributions of photoemission is analyzed. A significant difference in the anisotropy parameters at the near-threshold sideband caused by transitions through discrete states is shown. Two methods are compared: numerical solution of rate equations with continuum discretization and third-order perturbation theory.
