Sub-cycle time resolution of multi-photon momentum transfer in strong-field ionization

Understanding momentum transfer in light–matter interaction is intriguing. Here the authors study momentum transfer from photons to electrons and observe a time delay in the linear momentum transfer during strong-field ionization of xenon atoms using time-resolved measurements with velocity map imag...
