Ignition of a helium nanoplasma by x-ray multiple ionization of a heavy rare-gas core

D. Schomas, C. Medina, L. Ben Ltaief +14

The dynamics of an x-ray-ionized two-component core-shell nanosystem is probed using doped helium (He) nanodroplets. First, a soft x-ray pump pulse selectively inner-shell ionizes…
