Abstract:
We present a detailed experimental and theoretical study on the relativistic nondipole effects in strong-field atomic ionization by near-infrared linearly polarized few-cycle laser pulses in the intensity range of 10^{14}-10^{15} W/cm^{2}. We record high-resolution photoelectron momentum distributions of argon using a reaction microscope and compare our measurements with a truly ab initio fully relativistic 3D model based on the time-dependent Dirac equation. We observe counterintuitive peak shifts of the transverse electron momentum distribution in the direction opposite to that of laser propagation as a function of laser intensity and demonstrate an excellent agreement between the experimental results and theoretical predictions.

A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
