Exponential photonic localization for the hydrogen atom in a monochromatic field

  • 1. Dipartimento di Fisica dell'Universita, Via Celoria 16, 20133 Milano, Italy

Description

We present theoretical and numerical results showing that the probability distribution on energy levels of highly excited hydrogen atoms produced by a monochromatic field should be exponentially localized in the number of absorbed photons. These results allow for a new interpretation of underthreshold ionization and also for an estimate of the ionization rate
