Infrared laser assisted photoabsorption of Ne atoms

We proposed recently a theoretical method to study the infrared (IR) laser assisted photoabsorption cross sections over a broad energy range by a single calculation. We apply this method to study the IR laser assisted photoabsorption of Ne atoms near the first ionization threshold. The simulation results show that the IR field modifies the photoabsorption cross sections and the energy structures. This photoabsorption cross section is an important quantity to analyze the IR-laser assisted dynamical processes by an attosecond pulse, a pulse train or a free electron laser.
