Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In summary, we have demonstrated the possibility to generate a broadband, soft X-ray pulse from 70 eV to 150 eV, with an attosecond pulse duration, using a combined 800 nm+1300 nm laser scheme. Using tunable mid-infrared laser pulses, the source was extended to provide ultrashort soft X-ray pulses with a photon energy above the nitrogen K-edge. The source was used to investigate the laser-induced molecular alignment dynamics of CF3I and we were able to distinguish the role of shape resonances in XUV photoionization of aligned molecules. The source was also used to perform static and time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy in gas, liquid and solid targets. We have also provided the first demonstration that time-resolved core-shell photoelectron spectroscopy can be used to investigate ultrafast molecular processes at a free electron laser3. We are therefore convinced that the scheme that has been developed in this proposal to generate ultrashort pulses of short wavelength radiation will be extremely useful in the near future to pursue our investigation of photoinduced molecular dynamics by means of time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and diffraction and as well to develop new opportunities to explore ultrafast processes in condensed phase.
