Purpose:

To reveal rescattering ionization of a molecule in an intense laser pulse

or

To explain the confusing results we got two years ago in a precursor experiment at Berleley.

Questions:

What experiment was that?

What is rescattering?

What do these have to do with each other?

How to stimulate theoretical attention?
