I work at the House of Science with development of student labs. I also lead computer labs in the atomic physics course. I am also a lab assistant in the base year in physics.

• Study of the possibilities with combinations of circularly and linearly polarized light for attosecond delay investigations

  2020. Johan Sörngård, J. M. Dahlström, Eva Lindroth. Journal of Physics B 53 (13)

  Article

  We present calculations on the atomic delay in photoionzation obtained with different combinations of linearly and circularly polarized light, and show how a tensor operator approach can be used to readily obtain results for any combination from a single calculation of the radial integrals. We find that for certain choices of polarization and detection geometry a single time-delay measurement is enough to extract the atomic delay since the relative phase in a RABBIT type measurement will be imprinted on the photo electron anisotropy. We show further that the full angular dependence can be qualitatively understood from a plane wave analysis. The results are illustrated by many-body calculations of two-photon above threshold ionization on argon.

• Calculations on the possibilities for photoionization-delay studies with circularly polarized light

  2021. Johan Sörngård.

  Thesis (Lic)

  Advances in experimental physics, specifically light sources emitting at an attosecond time scale, has enabled the time resolution of atomic processes like photoionization. Recent developments have allowed these sources to produce light with non-linear polarization. There exists various theoretical methods that can simulate experimental set-ups that make use of these attosecond sources. The aim of this thesis project was to extend two of these methods to be able to simulate circularly polarized light in order to both better model experimental results and come up with new potentially interesting experiments. This has resulted in an extended version of the Random Phase Approximation with Exchange method capable of simulating an ionization process by light of arbitrary polarization, as well as well as an extended version of the NewStock package that is capable of time-resolved simulation of matter interactions with arbitrary light pulses.

• Angular anisotropy parameters for photoionization delays

  2021. Soumyajit Saha (et al.). Physical Review A: covering atomic, molecular, and optical physics and quantum information 104 (3)

  Article

  Anisotropy parameters describing the angular dependence of the photoionization delay are defined. The formalism is applied to results obtained with the relativistic random phase approximation with exchange for photoionization delay from the outermost s-orbitals in selected rare-gas atoms. Any angular dependence in the Wigner delay is induced here by relativistic effects, while the measurable atomic delay exhibits such a dependence also in the nonrelativistic limit. The contributions to the anisotropy from the different sources are disentangled and discussed. For the heavier rare gases, it is shown that measurements of the delay for electrons ejected in specific angles, relative to, e.g., those ejected along the laser polarization, are directly related here to the Wigner delay. For a considerable range of angles, the contributions from the second photon largely get canceled when the results in different angles are compared, and this angle-relative atomic delay is then close to the corresponding Wigner delay.
