This $151,880 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at the California Maritime Academy on double photoionization to probe electron correlation in multi-electron molecules. The goal is to expand the understanding of correlated electron dynamics, which is currently most complete in two-electron systems, to more chemically relevant molecules like ethylene and water that contain more than two electrons. This work will advance the basic science of electron correlation, which is fundamental to the organization and structure of matter at the atomic level and has broad implications across fields like chemistry, atomic/molecular physics, molecular biology, and materials science. The award will fund research, including experimental measurements using coincidence momentum imaging spectroscopy, to develop and expand theoretical calculations to describe double ionization in multi-electron polyatomic molecules. No subward details were provided.
