Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss atomic ionization in relativistic ultraintense laser. Our discussions are based on both analytical tunneling rate formula and numerical calculations using the classical trajectory Monte Carlo + tunneling (CTMC-T) approach. We address the quantum tunneling effect in the scheme of retrieving laser intensity via the ionization fraction of multiply charged ions. We also discuss the intensity dependence of photoelectron energy and momentum and the relevant carrier envelope phase (CEP) effect.
