Simulation of pump–probe spectroscopy of a highly-charged diatomic molecule: Role of intermediate charged states and electronic and vibrational excitation in the multiple ionization of Cl2 and strong-field spectroscopy of Cl23+
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper is a theoretical study of the effect of a pulsed ir laser on a neutral Cl2 molecule, leading to the creation of highly-charged molecular ions. We also develop a new quantum-mechanical model for the ionization of diatomic molecules in the tunneling regime. We consider the effects of the pump pulse duration and also the wavelength of the probe laser on the trication Cl23+ which is metastable, and consider how an experiment could be performed which would lead to the observation of its vibrational spectrum. The treatment considers nuclear wave packet dynamics which begin with vertical ionization from neutral Cl2 to Cl22+, includes dynamics arising from the intermediate charged state Cl22+, and electronic excitation and dissociation from the trication Cl23+. The dynamical simulations of a pump–probe experiment show modulated signals which can be Fourier-transformed to yield vibrational spectra. The quality of the modulated signal changes dramatically at an intermediate (relative to the vibrational period) pump pulse duration (at ca. 50 fs). Analysis of this effect shows how to maximize the probability of observing a simple vibrational spectrum for a highly charged diatomic created in a laser field.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
