Abstract

The investigation of atomic and molecular structure is conventionally carried out with X-ray or electron diffraction spectroscopy, employing an external source for the projectiles probing the target. In recent years, an alternative method has been developed, building on the rescattering of tunnel-ionized electrons in a strong optical field. We carry out this kind of laser-induced electron diffraction with extremely short optical pulses, which enables us to employ the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) as a control parameter to spectrally resolve the rescattering process. This novel method allows to extract scattering properties of electron-ion collisions, which is demonstrated for the elastic scattering cross section of xenon.
