Abstract

Multiple ionization of large clusters when they are irradiated by an intense ultrashort laser pulse is investigated. Different mechanisms, responsible for cluster ionization, are investigated. It is found that the ionization of large clusters, irradiated by a strong intense ultrashort laser pulse, is realized by means of the surface thermoemission.
