Abstract
We have measured the ion yields for helium ionized by 120 fs, 614
nm laser pulses for intensities near 10(16) W/cm2. We have found
that for these ultrashort pulses the He+2 data exhibit a feature
which saturates in parallel with the He+ signal indicating that the
ionization may proceed nonsequentially. We propose a new mechanism,
which can exist only in the tunneling regime, for such nonsequential
ionization.
