(Received 23 November 2012; published 27 March 2013)We apply a fundamental deﬁnition of time delay, as the difference between the time a particle spends withina ﬁnite region of a potential and the time a free particle spends in the same region, to determine results forphotoionization of an electron by an extreme ultraviolet laser ﬁeld using numerical simulations on a grid. Ournumerical results are in good agreement with those of the Wigner-Smith time delay, obtained as the derivative ofthe…
