Abstract:
Strong field processes involving several active electrons reveal unambiguous dynamical signatures of the Pauli principle importance even in the nonrelativistic regime. We exemplify this statement studying three active electrons model atoms interacting with strong pulsed radiation, using an ab-initio time-dependent Schrödinger equation on a grid. In our restricted dimensionality model we are able to analyze momenta correlations of the three outgoing electrons using Dalitz plots. The different symmetries of the electronic wavefunctions, directly related to the initial state spin components, appear clearly visible.
