Item Inner shell excitation by strong field laser rescattering: optimal laser conditions for high energy recollision(Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 2021-11-15) Kelley, L.; Germain, Z.; Jones, E. C.; Milliken, D.; Walker, Barry C.We address the challenge of finding the optimal laser intensity and wavelength to drive high-energy, strong field rescattering and report the maximum yields of K-shell and LI-shell hole creation. Surprisingly, our results show laser-driven rescattering is able to create inner shell holes in all atoms from lithium to uranium with the interaction spanning from the deep IR to x-ray free electron laser sources. The calculated peak rescattering follows a simple scaling with the atomic number and laser wavelength. The results show it is possible to describe the ideal laser intensity and wavelength for general high-energy laser rescattering processes.
