Symmetries in 3D photoelectron momentum spectroscopy as precursory methods for dichroic and enantiosensitive measurements

3D photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) are measured from an atomic target ionized by ultrafast, elliptical fields of opposite handedness. Comparing these PADs to one another and to numeric simulations, a difficult to avoid systematic error in their orientation is identified and subsequently corrected by imposing the dichroic symmetry by which they are necessarily related. We show that this correction can be directly applied to molecular targets in the same fields. This paves the way for measurement of enantiosensitive information which has yet to be accessed experimentally.
