Photoelectrons below the low-energy structure — •Elias Diesen, Ulf Saalmann, and Jan-Michael Rost — MPI-PKS, Dresden, Germany

Only recently the LES was discovered, a pronounced structure in the low energy photoelectron spectrum resulting from the interaction with a high intensity infrared laser pulse [1]. As shown in [2,3], the LES can be understood classically as an energy bunching effect due to the Coulomb field of the parent ion in so-called soft recollisions. Motivated by new experimental results [4,5] we have investigated the dynamics very close to threshold which reveals a rich structure of the spectrum below the LES.
