Description
Understanding the interaction of high-intensity extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray pulses with matter is essential to fully utilize the novel experimental capabilities of short-wavelength free-electron lasers and high-harmonic generation (HHG) sources. However, the complex and intertwined dynamics of ionization, plasma formation, and relaxation in condensed matter are not yet fully understood. We investigate clusters in the gas phase as ideal model systems by combining the measurement of electrons and ions from individual clusters interacting with single intense HHG pulses. This provides unprecedented insight into all relevant light-induced processes on femtosecond to nanosecond time scales.
