Experimental fingerprint of the electron's longitudinal momentum at the tunnel exit in strong field ionization

We present experimental data on the strong field tunnel ionization of argon in a counter-rotating two-color (CRTC) laser field. We find that the initial momentum component along the tunneling direction changes sign comparing the rising and the falling edge of the CRTC field. If the initial momentum...
