Time-resolved observation of interatomic Coulombic decay induced by two-photon double excitation of Ne
T. Takanashi, N. V. Golubev, C. Callegari +46
The hitherto unexplored two-photon doubly-excited states [Ne()] were experimentally identified using the seeded, fully coherent, intense extreme ultraviolet…
Collective Autoionization in Multiply-Excited Systems: A novel ionization process observed in Helium Nanodroplets
A. C. LaForge, M. Drabbels, N. Brauer +19
Free electron lasers (FELs) offer the unprecedented capability to study reaction dynamics and image the structure of complex systems. When multiple photons are absorbed in complex…
Observation and Control of Laser-Enabled Auger Decay
D. Iablonskyi, K. Ueda, Kenichi L. Ishikawa +21
Single photon laser enabled Auger decay (spLEAD) has been redicted theoretically [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 083004 (2013)] and here we report its first experimental observation in neon…
Coherent control with a short-wavelength Free Electron Laser
K. C. Prince, E. Allaria, C. Callegari +37
XUV and X-ray Free Electron Lasers (FELs) produce short wavelength pulses with high intensity, ultrashort duration, well-defined polarization and transverse coherence, and have bee…
The photochemical ring-opening reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene: complex dynamical evolution of the reactive state
O. Travnikova, T. Piteša, A. Ponzi +19
The photochemically induced ring-opening isomerization reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD) to 1,3,5-hexatriene (HT) is a textbook example of a pericyclic reaction, and has been am…
Time-resolved study of resonant interatomic Coulombic decay in helium nanodroplets
A. C. LaForge, R. Michiels, Y. Ovcharenko +30
When weakly-bound complexes are multiply excited by intense electromagnetic radiation, energy can be exchanged between neighboring atoms through a type of resonant interatomic Coul…
Evolution and ion kinetics of a XUV-induced nanoplasma in ammonia clusters
R. Michiels, A. C. LaForge, M. Bohlen +14
High-intensity extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses from a free-electron laser can be used to create a nanoplasma in clusters. In Ref. [Michiels et al. PCCP, 2020; 22: 7828-7834] we in…
Autoionization dynamics of He nanodroplets resonantly excited by intense XUV laser pulses
Y. Ovcharenko, A. LaForge, B. Langbehn +16

Ultrafast relaxation of photoexcited superfluid He nanodroplets
M. Mudrich, A. LaForge, F. Stienkemeier +21
The relaxation of photoexcited nanosystems is a fundamental process of light-matter interaction. Depending on the couplings of the internal degrees of freedom, relaxation can be ul…
