MO-ADK ionization rates of O2 and N2
• Strong dependence on alignment;
• For N2 good agreement with Litvinyuk et al, PRL 2003;
• Agrees well with recent experiments at KSU;

Our initial goals
• Analytic form for angular dependence (both ionization and HHG)?
• Why CO2 is different?
Pn(-x)=(-1)n Pn(x)

HHG: Three-Step model
1. Tunneling ionization: depends on orientation
2. Propagation in laser field
3. Recombination: depends on orientation
Question:
Is the alignment dependence of ionization is more important?
