Event Information:

An electron that multiphoton ionizes is immediately subject to the light's electric field that will control its short-term future.  This control enables a gas of atoms to produce intense VUV or soft X-ray beams.  Since we can precisely control the infrared beam, we can synthesize attosecond soft X-ray pulses - pulses that are the shortest controlled events ever systematically produced.  For a complex atom (such as xenon), the recollision electron shares its energy in any multi-electron interaction.
