We investigate sequential double-ionization of helium by intense close-to-circularly polarized few-cycle laser pulses using a classical trajectory-based model with two independent electrons. Simulated He2+ ion momentum distributions are compared to those obtained in recent benchmark experiments [1]. The influence of a number of pulse parameters such as peak intensity, carrier-envelope phase, pulse duration and second- and third-order spectral phase on the shape of the ion momentum distributions is studied. To explain certain fine-scale features observed in the measurement, it becomes important to consider subtle timing-variations in the two-electron emissions introduced by small values of chirp. This result demonstrates the possibility of controlling multi-electron dynamics on the attosecond time-scale by tuning the field-evolution of intense few-cycle laser pulses.
