Abstract

An improved quantum trajectory Monte Carlo method including the Stark shift of the initial state, Coulomb potential, and multielectron polarization-induced dipole potential is adopted to revisit the origin of the low-energy interference structure in the photoelectron momentum distribution of the xenon atom subjected to an intense laser field, and resolve the different contributions of these three effects. We found that the Stark shift plays an essential role on the low-energy interference structure, which moves the ringlike constructive interference structure to the lower momentum region. The formation of the low-energy interference structure is a result of the combined effects of Stark shift, laser, and Coulomb fields, while the multielectron polarization mainly enhance the probability of the low energy photoelectron spectrum. Our finding provides insight into the electron dynamics of atoms and molecules when driven by the intense laser fields.
