Covariance Analysis of Impulsive Streaking

Jun Wang, Zhaoheng Guo, Erik Isele +4

We present a comprehensive framework of modeling covariance in angular streaking experiments. Within the impulsive streaking regime, the displacement of electron momentum distribut…

Elucidating Norrish Type-I reactive pathways by ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Martin Graßl, Pablo Unzueta, Andreas E. Hillers-Bendtsen +20

Norrish type I reactions selectively cleave carbon-carbon bonds directly adjacent to carbonyl groups. Despite their broad use in combination with aromatic carbonyls for additive ma…

Imaging valence electron rearrangement in a chemical reaction using hard X-ray scattering

Ian Gabalski, Alice Green, Philipp Lenzen +24

We have observed the signatures of valence electron rearrangement in photoexcited ammonia using ultrafast hard X-ray scattering. Time-resolved X-ray scattering is a powerful tool f…

Attosecond Coherent Electron Motion in Auger-Meitner Decay

Siqi Li, Taran Driver, Philipp Rosenberger +38

In quantum systems, coherent superpositions of electronic states evolve on ultrafast timescales (few femtosecond to attosecond, 1 as = 0.001 fs = 10^{-18} s), leading to a time dep…

Attosecond Coherent Electron Motion in a Photoionized Aromatic Molecule

Taran Driver, Zhaoheng Guo, Erik Isele +50

In molecular systems, the ultrafast motion of electrons initiates the process of chemical change. Tracking this electronic motion across molecules requires coupling attosecond time…

Advanced Control of Electron Beams: Tailoring X-ray Production with Programmable Laser Shaping

Jack Hirschman, Randy Lemons, Hao Zhang +23

Leveraging the full scientific capabilities of next-generation high-repetition-rate free-electron lasers requires programmable control over electron-beam properties at their source…
