22. The maximum energy shift of the photoelectron spectra induced by the streaking IR pulse (∼8 eV) is comparable to the photoelectron bandwidth, thus confirming that the phase modulation imposed by the streaking pulse is fast enough to warrant a correct characterization of the electron wavepacket generated by the XUV pulses.
