Generative Modeling Enables Molecular Structure Retrieval from Coulomb Explosion Imaging
Xiang Li, Till Jahnke, Rebecca Boll +12
Capturing the structural changes that molecules undergo during chemical reactions in real space and time is a long-standing dream and an essential prerequisite for understanding an…
Elucidating Norrish Type-I reactive pathways by ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopy
Martin GraÃl, 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…
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…
Upstream Laser-based Longitudinal Enhancement of Relativistic Photoelectrons
Hao Zhang, Randy Lemons, Jack Hirschman +23
Controlling the longitudinal phase space of high-brightness relativistic electron beams is crucial for advancing a broad spectrum of charged-particle-based instrumentation and scie…
Nonlinear reversal of photo-excitation on the attosecond time scale improves ultrafast x-ray diffraction images
Anatoli Ulmer, Phay J. Ho, Bruno Langbehn +28
The advent of isolated and intense sub-femtosecond X-ray pulses enables tracking of quantummechanical motion of electrons in molecules and solids. The combination of X-ray spectros…
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…
