Attosecond Coherent Electron WavePackets-CEWP's-Effect of Nuclear Motion

Attosecond(10$^{-18}$ s)laser pulses allow for the creation of CEWP's-Coherent Electron Wavepackets as time dependent superpositions of delocalized molecular orbitals [1]. The evolution and detection of CEWP,s during photodissociation can be simulated from non-BornOppenheimer time dependent Schroedinger equations, TDSE's on large memory supercomputers, including coupled elelctron-nuclear motion. Two methods will be proposed for studying the dynamics of CEWP's:asymmetric photionization [2-3] or molecular high order harmonic generation, MHOHG [4]on attosecond time scales.\\[4pt] [1] S.Chelkowski, G.L.Yudin, A.D.Bandrauk, J Phys B 39, S409(2006)\\[0pt] [2] A.D.Bandrauk, N H Shon,Intl.J.Quantum Chem (2004)\\[0pt] [3] A.D.Bandrauk, S.Chelkowski, J.Manz, P.B.Corkum, J.Phys B42,134001(2009)\\[0pt] [4] A.D.Bandrauk, S.Chelkowski, T.Bredtman, in preparation
