Scattering of Attosecond Electromagnetic Field Pulses by Atomic and Molecular Anions Including the Magnetic Field Component

Abstract

Scattering of an attosecond electromagnetic field pulse by atomic and molecular anions is considered in the sudden perturbation approximation. In the interaction with anions, the effect of the magnetic field of the incident pulse is considered. The inclusion of the magnetic component of the ultrashort pulse leads to new results in the scattering spectra for atomic and molecular anions. Analytic dependences of the partial spectrum on frequency are obtained. It is shown that during scattering, the second harmonic is generated, which makes it possible to determine the type of anions and the spatial orientation of molecular anions.
