Steplike intensity threshold behavior of extreme ionization in laser-driven Xe clusters

T. Döppner, J. P. Müller, A. Przystawik +7

The generation of highly charged Xe${}^{q+}$ ions up to {$q=24$} is observed in Xe clusters embedded in helium nanodroplets and exposed to intense femtosecond laser pulses ($\lambda$=800 n…
