A new model explains how xenon clusters absorb many vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser photons per atom at low intensities. This research aligns with experimental findings, enhancing our understanding of VUV-matter interactions.

Area of Science:

  • Atomic and Molecular Physics
  • Laser-Matter Interactions
  • Plasma Physics

Background:

  • Intense laser-matter interactions are crucial for understanding various physical phenomena.
  • Xenon clusters are frequently used targets for studying laser-driven processes due to their unique properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple, quantitative model for intense vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser pulse interactions with xenon clusters.
  • To explain the high absorption of VUV photons per atom observed in experiments.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a theoretical model describing VUV laser-xenon cluster interactions.
  • Quantitative comparison of model predictions with experimental data.

Main Results:

  • The model successfully reproduces experimental observations of VUV laser-xenon cluster interactions.
  • It explains the significant absorption of VUV photons per atom at intensities below 10^16 W/cm^2.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model provides a clear understanding of VUV photon absorption mechanisms in xenon clusters.
  • This work validates theoretical approaches for describing intense laser-matter interactions.
