The asymmetric temporal shape of
electron wave packets emitted through an autoionizing state further reveals the chiral character of strongly correlated electronic dynamics.
If one considers excitation in the time domain one can assume that
electron wave packets are created periodically at the field cycle maxima.

To meet these requirements, Baum and Morimoto make use of the fact that
electrons, as elementary particles, also possess
wave - like properties and can behave as so - called
wave packets.
The key was to split this
electron into two
wave packets.
The first pulse converted the
electron from a conventional, unexcited particle into a
wave packet with several different excited states.
This created a second
wave packet from the same
electron, in effect splitting it into two
wave packets at opposite ends of the orbit.
