Abstract
The influence of electron-electron Coulomb repulsion on nonsequential double ionization of rare-gas atoms is investigated. Several variants of the quantum-mechanical transition amplitude are evaluated that differ by the form of the inelastic electron-ion rescattering and whether or not Coulomb repulsion between the two electrons in the final state is included. For high laser intensity, an entirely classical model is formulated that simulates the rescattering scenario.
