Abstract
The absolute generalized cross sections and angular distribution parameters of photoelectrons for the two-photon above threshold $3p$-ionization of Ar were calculated in the exciting photon energy range from 15.76 to 36 eV. The correlation function technique developed earlier was extended for the case when an intermediate-state function is of a continuum-type. We show that two-photon ionization of Ar near the $3p^{4}$ threshold to a large extent is determined by the $(3p\dashrightarrow\varepsilon d)^{2}$ two-photon absorption via the giant resonance. This many-electron correlation causes (i) an increase of the photoionization cross sections by more than a factor of 3; (ii) the appearance of resonances in the exciting-photon energy range of the doubly-excited states. The predictions are supported by a good agreement between length and velocity results obtained after taking into account of the higher-order perturbation theory corrections.
