Strong-field ionization and fragmentation of large, gas-phase clusters in the few-cycle domain

D. Mathur, F. A. Rajgara, A. R. Holkundkar +1

Intense 3-cycle pulses (10 fs) of 800 nm laser light are utilized to measure energy distributions of ions emitted following Coulomb explosion of Ar${}_n$ clusters ($n$=400-900) upon…
