Theoretical analysis of time delays and streaking effects in XUV photoionization

We apply a recently proposed theoretical concept and numerical approach to obtain time delays in extreme ultraviolet (XUV) photoionization of an electron in a short- or long-range potential. The results of our numerical simulations on a space-time grid are compared to those for the well-known Wigner-Smith time delay and different methods to obtain the latter time delay are reviewed. We further use our numerical method to analyze the effect of a near-infrared streaking field on the time delay obtained in the numerical simulations.
