Rather than using the more extreme definition of tunnelling (i.e. gamma <<1, F<<F at ), a more precise definition of the Keldysh gamma parameter ( gamma (0.5) and of the laser field F (F(F BSI ) is proposed, where F BSI is the barrier suppression ionization field. New experimental results of the ionization of mercury atoms by an intense CO 2 laser pulse are presented. This experiment, along with some previous experiments, have been analysed, and may be classified as tunnel ionization under this definition.
