  1. What are Cycloatoms? Robert E. Wagner Sophomore Intense Laser Physics Theory Unit Illinois State University www.phy.ilstu.edu/ILP Support: NSF, Res. Corp., and ISU Honors Program

  2. Magnetic field Laser More Technical: Use RK4 to solve this

  3. Maximum speed v/c for each W non- relativistic relativistic W wL

  4. Can we use classical mechanics to approximate quantum???? |Y(r)|2 High probability realization in terms of classical particles Large density

  5. Can we use classical mechanics to approximate quantum???? ? ? ? ?

  6. choose s wisely: s too large s too small Summary 1. Pqm(r,t=0) => Pcl(r,t=0) 2. realize Pcl(r,t=0) in terms of 100,000 single trajectories 3. solve time evolution of each trajectory 4. compute a “smoothed” histogram = Pcl(r,t)

  7. Non-relativistic Relativistic 0 75 150 y 500 x Orbits stay in phase Orbits dephase relativistically Time (in 2p/wL)

  8. Non-relativistic Movie W=wL

  9. Relativistic Movie W=wL

  10. Relativistic dephasing model relativistic (exact) dephasing model 0 75 150 500 Time replace W W + DW (V0)

  11. Steady state spatial electron distributions Fractional resonances W = 1/2 wL W = 1/3 wL Multiple resonances W =wL W = 2 wL W = 3 wL Q. Su, R.E. Wagner, P.J. Peverly & RG, SPIE (in press)

  12. Fractional Resonance W=1/2 wL

  13. Fractional Resonance W=1/3 wL

  14. Summary Relativity leads to new phenomena in the spatial and temporal dynamics • novel resonances => novel experiments • cycloatoms • dephasing [1] R.E. Wagner, Q. Su and R. Grobe, Phys. Rev.
