WIs, Department of Physics of Complex SystmemsOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The interaction of intense light with atoms or molecules can...» The interaction of intense light with atoms or molecules can lead to the generation of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses and energetic electron pulses of attosecond (10-18) duration. The advent of attosecond technology opens up new fields of time-resolved studies in which transient electronic dynamics can be studied with a temporal resolution that was previously unattainable.
I will review the main challenges and goals in the field of attosecond science. As an example, I will focus on a recent experiment where the dynamics of tunnel ionization – one of the most fundamental strong-field phenomena – were studied. Specifically, we were able to measure the times when different electron trajectories exit from under the tunneling barrier created by a laser field and the atomic binding potential. Finally, subtle delays in ionization times from two orbitals in a molecular system are resolved. This exper-iment provides an additional, important step towards the ability to resolve multielectron phenomena -- a long-term goal of attosecond studies.

The discovery of planets outside the solar-system opens an opportunity to learn about planets as a class. However, a substantial improvement in our understanding of extrasolar planets, in particular, their physical properties, is not possible without detailed investigation and better understanding of the solar-system planets. I will briefly discuss how planetary interiors are modeled, and will present interior models of the four solar-system outer planets, i.e., Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, including the main uncertainties in planetary composition and interior structure. Recent results, open questions, and future investigations will be presented. -
