Abstract

For the first time, excitation and ionization of helium atom (He) induced by synchrotron radiation(SR) is simulated in the present work. It is found that electrons can tunnel through the ground state of helium atom and leave from the atomic region caused by subsequent SR field. Therefore, the ionization of He atom can happen. Additionally, some electrons can be captured by a higher electronic state, which leads to the tunneling excitation from the ground state to a specific excited state.
