Tunneling Ionization of Hydrogen Atom in Electric Field Introduction : Ionization of Hydrogen (1 ) Photo electric effect(EUV) : 1 photon-1 electron interaction, (2) Intense Laser (IR) Many photons- 1 electron interaction, (Classical Period)<<(Laser cycle period). (non perturbative) Why the Hydrogen atom? – Basic Schrodinger eq. is separable into 2 equations.[1] – There are already codes for Hydrogen in general potentials [1] Pavel A. Batishchev, Oleg I. Tolstikhin and Toru Morishita (PHYSICAL REVIEW A 82, (2010))

Tunneling Ionization of Hydrogen Atom in Electric Field CONCLUSION We studied hydrogen atom in an electric Field We established an effective code for calculating complex energies and transverse momentum distribution(TMD). We checked the accuracy of the results by comparing them with results from earlier researches. The numerical method we used in this research has a shorter computation time compared to the general methods that work arbitrary potentials. Studies on the physics of Tunneling Ionization amongst other phenomena can be studied faster. We observed the existence of Branch points in the (0,0,0)&(0,1,0) surfaces.
