Multi-photon above threshold ionization of multi-electron atoms and molecules using the R-matrix approach

Abstract We formulate a computationally efficient time-independent method based on the multi-electron molecular R-matrix formalism. This method is used to calculate transition matrix elements for the multi-photon ionization of atoms and molecules under the influence of a perturbative field. The meth...
