Mutually phase-stable tunable attosecond soft X-ray attosecond pulses from a free-electron laser

River Robles, Kurtis Borne, Mathew Britton +16

We demonstrate the production of mutually phase-stable attosecond X-ray pulse pairs with tunable relative time delays and phases in a cascaded X-ray free-electron laser. We showcas…

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…

Ultrafast quantum dynamics driven by the strong space charge field of a relativistic electron beam

D. Cesar, A. Acharya, J. P. Cryan +7

In this article, we illustrate how the Coulomb field of a highly relativistic electron beam can be shaped into a broadband pulse suitable for driving ultrafast and strong-field phy…

Phase retrieval from angular streaking of XUV atomic ionization

Anatoli S. Kheifets, Rickson Wielian, Igor A. Ivanov +3

We demonstrate an accurate phase retrieval of XUV atomic ionization by streaking the photoelectron in a circularly polarized IR laser field. The streaking phase can then be convert…
