Abstract

This paper shows that it is, in principle, possible to construct complex-valued nuclear wave packets describing photofragments produced through short-pulse excitation. This requires the experimental determination of the fragment kinetic-energy distribution and a pump-probe signal detecting the products. These sets of data yield the wave-packet densities in momentum and coordinate space. The phases of the wave function can be obtained from an iteration scheme. By investigating several examples, this paper shows that the algorithm works excellent even in unfavorable cases.
