Abstract
We report full-dimensionality quantum and classical calculations of the double ionization (DI) of laser-driven helium at 390 nm. Good agreement between the quantum and classical results is observed. We identify the relative importance of the two main non-sequential DI pathways: the direct—with an almost simultaneous ejection of both electrons—and the delayed. We find that the delayed pathway prevails at small intensities independently of total electron energy, but at high intensities the direct pathway predominates up to a certain upper limit in total energy, which increases with intensity. An explanation of this increase with intensity is provided.
