The theoretical method proposed in this study calculates multiphoton ionization amplitudes and cross sections for few-electron atoms. It extracts partial-wave amplitudes from a scattering wave function by solving driven Schrödinger equations, relying on a description of partial waves using a small number of Coulomb waves. The method is applicable for photon energies above and below ionization threshold and for resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization.
We present a theoretical method for calculating multiphoton ionization amplitudes and cross sections of few-electron atoms. The present approach is based on an extraction of partial-wave amplitudes from a scattering wave function, which is calculated by solving a system of driven Schrodinger equations. The extraction relies on a description of partial waves in terms of a small number of Coulomb waves with fixed wave numbers. The method can be used for photon energies below and above the ionization threshold and to treat resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. We use it to calculate two-, three-, and four-photon ionization cross sections of hydrogen and helium atoms for a wide range of photon energies and to determine the asymmetry parameters of photoelectron angular distributions for two-, three-, and four-photon ionization of the helium atom.
