Multiphoton interaction phase shifts in attosecond science

• Ab initio simulations of a range of interferometric experiments are used to identify a strong dependence on multiphoton phase shifts in above-threshold ionization (ATI). A simple rule of thumb for interaction phase shifts is derived to explain both the conservation of photoelectron yield and its absolute CEP dependence. For instance, it is found that interferometric (ATI) experiments are shifted by π/4 relative to RABBIT experiments, and that there is no RABBIT term in a laser-assisted photoionization experiment with odd and even harmonics. Thus, our work helps to resolve the issues of interpretation of quantum dynamics in attosecond and free-electron laser sciences.
