Measure of electron-electron correlation in atomic physics

Year: 1994

Type: article

Abstract: We propose a criterion to determine the numerical degree of global (non-operator-specific) correlation of a multiparticle quantum system and apply it to several situations, including electron-atom scattering and strong-field photoionization. We show that the degree of correlation tends to increase in the presence of the field.
