Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through resent advances in laser technology, it has become feasible to create strong laser field, which is comparable with the electric field that a bound electron feels in matter, and various kinds of researches regarding ultrafast molecular dynamic in such strong laser field has been activated. The objective of this project is to develop laser-assisted electron momentum spectroscopy that is expected to provide more complete understanding of interaction between strong laser filed and matter. For this purpose, many theoretical calculations as well as development of several experimental techniques have been attempted. As a result, this project has successfully provided concrete experimental conditions and guidelines for improvements in experimental techniques, required to realize laser-assisted electron momentum spectroscopy in the near future.
