Processes of ionization of atoms in nonstationary states by the field of an attosecond pulse

Processes of ionization at the interaction of attosecond pulses of an electromagnetic field with atoms in nonstationary states have been considered. The probabilities and ionization cross section at the radiative relaxation of an excited state of a single-electron atom and at the Auger decay of the autoionization state of a two-electron atom have been calculated. The developed method allows the expansion to the case of more complex targets, including those in the collision state, and to various chemical reactions.
