Broadband hard X-ray attosecond pulses from extremely chirped electron beams
River Robles, Veronica Guo, David Cesar +10
Attosecond pulses from free-electron lasers have opened the doors to atomic site-specific studies of bound electronic dynamics on their natural, sub-femtosecond timescales. Key to…
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…
Experimental demonstration of attosecond hard X-ray pulses
Ichiro Inoue, River Robles, Aliaksei Halavanau +24
We present the first direct experimental confirmation of attosecond pulse generation in the hard X-ray regime with a free-electron laser. Our experiment is based on measurements of…
Attosecond X-ray Core-level Chronoscopy of Aromatic Molecules
Jia-Bao Ji, Zhaoheng Guo, Taran Driver +32
Attosecond photoemission or photoionization delays are a unique probe of the structure and the electronic dynamics of matter. However, spectral congestion and spatial delocalizatio…
Spectrotemporal shaping of attosecond x-ray pulses with a fresh-slice free-electron laser
River R. Robles, Kirk A. Larsen, David Cesar +14
We propose a scheme allowing coherent shaping, i.e., controlling both the amplitude and phase, of attosecond x-ray pulses at free-electron lasers. We show that by seeding an FEL wi…
