ABSTRACT
Clusters bridge the gap between atomic (microscopic) and condensed (macroscopic) objects (Haberland 1994). ey allow for almost continuous interpolation from single atoms to nanodroplets by changing the number of atoms in the cluster. Clusters in intense laser elds form a fundamental yet quite advanced research topic, regarding the target that is exposed to light and regarding the light that di ers quite a bit in its e ect on the target from the photoe ect that one may consider as the fundamental interaction of light with matter. With this single photon dynamics, we contrast dynamics induced by intense laser elds that need to be incorporated in the dynamical description of matter non-perturbatively (Brabec and Kapteyn 2004).
