Above threshold detachment of negative ions by circularly polarized few cycle la

In accordance with nonperturbative quantum scattering theory, we investigate photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) from above-threshold detachment (ATD) of negative ions irradiated by circularly polarized few-cycle laser fields. Electrons ejected on the polarization plane demonstrate distinct anisotropies in angular distributions which distinctly vary with the carrier-envelope (CE) phase. The anisotropy is caused by interference between transition channels; it also depends strongly on laser
