Many Body Theory for Time-Resolved Pump/Probe Photoemission and its Solution via Nonequilibrium Dynamical Mean-Field Theory — •James Freericks — Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA

In this talk, I will present the exact many-body formalism for time-resolved pump/probe photoemission spectroscopy (PES). By using the sudden approximation and neglecting the energy and momentum dependence of matrix elements, one can reduce the PES response to a relative time Fourier transform of the (nonequilibrium) lesser Green’s function in the presence of the pump and modulated by the probe envelope. We will apply this theory to a system that cannot be described by a quasiequilibrium approach with a time-dependent effective temperature: namely, the response of the system to a large dc electric field which generates damped Bloch oscillations in the system as it evolves to a nonequilibrium steady state. We will describe the interplay between the probe width and the ability to see temporal oscillations or sharp features in the spectra.
