Attosecond two-photon interferometry for doubly excited states of helium
We show that the correlation dynamics in coherently excited doubly excited
resonances of helium can be followed in real time by two-photon interferometry.
This approach promises to map the evolution of the two-electron wave packet
onto experimentally easily accessible non-coincident single electron spectra.
We analyze the interferometric signal in terms of a semi-analytical model which
is validated by a numerical solution of the time-dependent two-electron
Schr\"odinger equation in its full dimensionality.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Probing Electron Correlation via Attosecond XUV Pulses in the Two-Photon Double Ionization of Helium
Recent experimental developments of high-intensity, short-pulse XUV light
sources are enhancing our ability to study electron-electron correlations. We
perform time-dependent calculations to investigate the so-called "sequential"
regime (photon energy above 54.4 eV) in the two-photon double ionization of
helium. We show that attosecond pulses allow to induce and probe angular and
energy correlations of the emitted electrons. The final momentum distribution
reveals regions dominated by the Wannier ridge break-up scenario and by
post-collision interaction.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Universal features in sequential and nonsequential two-photon double ionization of helium
We analyze two-photon double ionization of helium in both the nonsequential
and sequential regime. We show that the energy spacing between the two emitted
electrons provides the key parameter that controls both the energy and the
angular distribution and reveals the universal features present in both the
nonsequential and sequential regime. This universality, i.e., independence of
photon energy, is a manifestation of the continuity across the threshold for
sequential double ionization. For all photon energies, the energy distribution
can be described by a universal shape function that contains only the spectral
and temporal information entering second-order time-dependent perturbation
theory. Angular correlations and distributions are found to be more sensitive
to the photon energy. In particular, shake-up interferences have a large effect
on the angular distribution. Energy spectra, angular distributions
parameterized by the anisotropy parameters, and total cross sections presented
in this paper are obtained by fully correlated time-dependent ab initio
calculations.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure
Documenting of Geologic Field Activities in Real-Time in Four Dimensions: Apollo 17 as a Case Study for Terrestrial Analogues and Future Exploration
During the Apollo exploration of the lunar surface, thousands of still images, 16 mm videos, TV footage, samples, and surface experiments were captured and collected. In addition, observations and descriptions of what was observed was radioed to Mission Control as part of standard communications and subsequently transcribed. The archive of this material represents perhaps the best recorded set of geologic field campaigns and will serve as the example of how to conduct field work on other planetary bodies for decades to come. However, that archive of material exists in disparate locations and formats with varying levels of completeness, making it not easily cross-referenceable. While video and audio exist for the missions, it is not time synchronized, and images taken during the missions are not time or location tagged. Sample data, while robust, is not easily available in a context of where the samples were collected, their descriptions by the astronauts are not connected to them, or the video footage of their collection (if available). A more than five year undertaking to reconstruct and reconcile the Apollo 17 mission archive, from launch through splashdown, has generated an integrated record of the entire mission, resulting in searchable, synchronized image, voice, and video data, with geologic context provided at the time each sample was collected. Through www.apollo17.org the documentation of the field investigation conducted by the Apollo 17 crew is presented in chronologic sequence, with additional context provided by high-resolution Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) images and a corresponding digital terrain model (DTM) of the Taurus-Littrow Valley

Nano-wires with surface disorder: Giant localization lengths and quantum-to-classical crossover
We investigate electronic quantum transport through nano-wires with one-sided
surface roughness. A magnetic field perpendicular to the scattering region is
shown to lead to exponentially diverging localization lengths in the
quantum-to-classical crossover regime. This effect can be quantitatively
accounted for by tunneling between the regular and the chaotic components of
the underlying mixed classical phase space.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures; final version (including added references
Proposed magnetostratigraphy susceptibility magnetostratotype for the Eifelian-Givetian GSSP (Anti-Atlas, Morocco)
The magnetosusceptibility event and cyclostratigraphy (MSEC) record for the Eifelian-Givetian Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) located in the western Sahara of southeastern Morocco is used to establish a sequence of magnetostratigraphic susceptibility units organized into magnetostratigraphic susceptibility zones (MSZ) and magnetostratigraphic susceptibility subzones (MSSZ). Magnetic susceptibility data are summarized into two complete MSZs (Atrous and Mech Irdane) and two partial MSZs (Gheris and Rissani). The Atrous (Upper Eifelian) is comprised of 3 MSSZs and the Mech Irdane (uppermost Eifelian and lowermost Givetian) of 11 MSSZs. The Eifelian-Givetian boundary falls within Mech Irdane MSSZ 2 making the magnetosubzone an important boundary marker unit. Large-scale transgressive and regressive patterns in the MSEC data establish that the Eifelian-Givetian boundary in the GSSP sequence occurs immediately after the first regressive pulse following the transgressive conditions established during the Atrous MSZ. The Lower Kačák/otomari Event occurs in Atrous MSSZ 3 and Kačák/otomari Event occurs in Mech Irdane MSSZ 1. The magnetic properties of the MSZs and MSSZs are tested by comparison with a coeval magnetostratigraphic susceptibility sequence in the Montagne Noire region of southern France
