We present experimental measurements and theoretical calculations of photoionization time delays from the $3s$ and $3p$ shells in Ar in the photon energy range of 32-42 eV. The experimental measurements are performed by interferometry using attosecond pulse trains and the infrared laser used for their generation. The theoretical approach includes intershell correlation effects between the 3s and 3p shells within the framework of the random phase approximation with exchange (RPAE). The connection between single-photon ionization and the two-color two-photon ionization process used in the measurement is established using the recently developed asymptotic approximation for the complex transition amplitudes of laser-assisted photoionization. We compare and discuss the theoretical and experimental results especially in the region where strong intershell correlations in the 3s to kp channel lead to an induced Cooper minimum in the 3s ionization cross-section.

The problem of time delay in tunneling ionization is revisited. The origin of time delay at the tunnel exit is analysed, underlining the two faces of the concept of the tunnelling time delay: the time delay around the tunnel exit and the asymptotic t ime delay at a detector. We show that the former time delay, in the sense of a delay in the peak of the wavefunction, exists as a matter of principle and arises due to the sub-barrier interference of the reflected and transmitted components of the tunneling electronic wavepacket. We exemplify this by describing the tunnelling ionization of an electron bound by a short-range potential within the strong field approximation in a deep tunnelling regime. If sub-barrier reflections are extracted from this wavefunction, then the time delay of the peak is shown to vanish. Thus, we assert that the disturbance of the tunnelling wavepacket by the reflection from the surface of the barrier causes a time delay in the neighbourhood of the tunnel exit.

More than 100 years after its discovery and its explanation in the energy domain, the duration of the photoelectric effect is still heavily studied. The emission time of a photoelectron can be quantified by the Wigner time delay. Experiments addressi ng this time delay for single-photon ionization became feasible during the last 10 years. A missing piece, which has not been studied, so far, is the Wigner time delay for strong-field ionization of molecules. Here we show experimental data on the Wigner time delay for tunnel ionization of $H_{2}$ molecules and demonstrate its dependence on the emission direction of the electron with respect to the molecular axis. We find, that the observed changes in the Wigner time delay can be quantitatively explained by elongated/shortened travel paths of the electrons that are due to spatial shifts of the electrons birth position after tunneling. This introduces an intuitive perspective towards the Wigner time delay in strong-field ionization.
The B-spline R-matrix and the convergent close-coupling methods are used to study electron collisions with neutral beryllium over an energy range from threshold to 100 eV. Coupling to the target continuum significantly affects the results for transit ions from the ground state, but to a lesser extent the strong transitions between excited states. Cross sections are presented for selected transitions between low-lying physical bound states of beryllium, as well as for elastic scattering, momentum transfer, and ionization. The present cross sections for transitions from the ground state from the two methods are in excellent agreement with each other, and also with other available results based on nonperturbative convergent pseudo-state and time-dependent close-coupling models. The elastic cross section at low energies is dominated by a prominent shape resonance. The ionization from the $(2s2p)^3P$ and $(2s2p)^1P$ states strongly depends on the respective term. The current predictions represent an extensive set of electron scattering data for neutral beryllium, which should be sufficient for most modeling applications.
A new relativistic method based on the Dirac equation for calculating fully differential cross sections for ionization in ion-atom collisions is developed. The method is applied to ionization of the atomic hydrogen by antiproton impact, as a non-rela tivistic benchmark. The fully differential, as well as various doubly and singly differential cross sections for ionization are presented. The role of the interaction between the projectile and the target nucleus is discussed. Several discrepancies in available theoretical predictions are resolved. The relativistic effects are studied for ionization of hydrogenlike xenon ion under the impact of carbon nuclei.
Several recent attoclock experiments have investigated the fundamental question of a quantum mechanically induced time delay in tunneling ionization via extremely precise photoelectron momentum spectroscopy. The interpretations of those attoclock exp erimental results were controversially discussed, because the entanglement of the laser and Coulomb field did not allow for theoretical treatments without undisputed approximations. The method of semiclassical propagation matched with the tunneled wavefunction, the quasistatic Wigner theory, the analytical R-matrix theory, the backpropagation method, and the under-the-barrier recollision theory are the leading conceptual approaches put forward to treat this problem, however, with seemingly conflicting conclusions on the existence of a tunneling time delay. To resolve the contradicting conclusions of the different approaches, we consider a very simple tunneling scenario which is not plagued with complications stemming from the Coulomb potential of the atomic core, avoids consequent controversial approximations and, therefore, allows us to unequivocally identify the origin of the tunneling time delay as well as to confirm it with the backpropagation method being most known for predicting vanishing tunneling time.
