Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 053001 (2006) [4 pages]Ab initio Calculation of the Double Ionization of Helium in a Few-Cycle Laser Pulse Beyond the One-Dimensional ApproximationReceived 7 October 2005; published 7 February 2006 We present ab initio computations of the ionization of two-electron atoms by short pulses of intense linearly polarized Ti:sapphire laser radiation beyond the one-dimensional approximation. In the model the electron correlation is included in its full dimensionality, while the center-of-mass motion is restricted along the polarization axis. Our results exhibit a rich double ionization quantum dynamics in the direction transversal to the field polarization, which is neglected in the previous models based on the one-dimensional approximation. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
