Using a classical ensemble approach, electrons detached sequentially by short circularly polarized laser pulses are predicted to be correlated in their emission directions. The correlation is introduced by the laser pulses. By changing the laser intensity, the angle between the two emissions can be controlled continuously, from 0° (parallel) to 90° (perpendicular) to 180° (antiparallel). The effect on the resultant ion momentum distribution is discussed.
