Exciting clusters and nanodroplets with intense laser pulses provides a well-defined scenario to study the correlated dynamics of highly excited matter. We use diffractive imaging of single nanoparticles in free flight with XUV and X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) to explore the light-induced dynamics with high spatial and temporal resolution. From the measured diffraction patterns the...

Talk
The conversion of light energy into other energy forms in molecules is the result of a concerted and ultrafast motion of electrons and nuclei, often under breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. This talk is about ultrafast experiments aimed at resolving light induced ultrafast molecular dynamics with x-ray probe pulses using free electron lasers as well as relativistic electron...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are assumed to be key players in interstellar chemistry [1]. Their interaction with energy-rich radiation can trigger the competing processes of ionization, fragmentation and dehydrogenation. Ultra-short pulses of ionizing radiation in a pump-probe experiment present a powerful tool to disentangle the underlying chemical processes that may occur during...
