Abstract:Unipolar "half-cycle" electric field pulses (HCPs) have been used to recombine free electrons and calcium ions. The field assisted process is very similar to controlled three-body recombination in plasmas. We report on experiments that utilize HCP assisted recombination to probe the probability distribution of continuum electron wavepackets and produce bound wavepackets that are highly localized in three spatial dimenstions.
