Research

research overview

  • Dr. Jaron-Becker research is focused on two important branches in AMO science, namely interaction of atoms and molecules with extreme X-ray/XUV light sources and imaging as well as control of atomic and molecular dynamics with intense ultrashort laser pulses. In particular she studies laser induced and laser assisted processes, which require description beyond framework of the perturbation theory. The scope of Dr. Jaron-Becker's research interests ranges from laser assisted electron scattering, through multiphoton ionization, high harmonic generation, laser assisted electron impact ionization to laser induced radiative recombination. She studies the nonperturbative aspects in electron dynamics for laser interacting from simple systems, such as hydrogen atom, to more complex such as polyatomic molecules, fullerenes as well as small finite nanostructures.
