Non-Sequential Double Ionization is a Completely Classical Photoelectric Effect

Abstract

We introduce a unified and simplified theory of atomic double ionization. Our results show that at high laser intensities ($I\ge 10^{14}$ watts/cm${}^2$) purely classical correlation is strong enough to account for all of the main features observed in experiments to date.
