Here, we both initiate and probe molecular dynamics in acetylene with intense 6-fs cross-polarized pulse pairs, separated by a variable delay. Following multiple ionization by the first pulse, acetylene undergoes simultaneous elongation of the carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds, enabling further ionization by the second pulse and the formation of a very highly charged state, [C$_2$H$_2]^{6+}$. At small inter-pulse delays ($&lt;$20 fs), this enhancement occurs when the molecule is aligned to the probe pulse. Conversely, at large delays ($&gt;$40 fs), formation of [C$_2$H$_2]^{6+}$ occurs when the molecule is aligned to the pump pulse. By analyzing the polarization and time dependence of sequentially ionized [C$_2$H$_2]^{6+}$, we resolve two distinct pathways that both contribute to a large increase in the multiple ionization yield. This cross-polarized pulse pair scheme uniquely enables selective probing of deeply bound orbitals, providing new insights on orientation-dependent EI in highly charged hydrocarbons. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2411.04144v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2411.04144v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 5 November, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.01729">arXiv:2411.01729</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.01729">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2411.01729">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability">physics.data-an</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic Physics">physics.atom-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Covariance Analysis of Impulsive Streaking </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+J">Jun Wang</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Guo%2C+Z">Zhaoheng Guo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Isele%2C+E">Erik Isele</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Bucksbaum%2C+P+H">Philip H.

Within the impulsive streaking regime, the displacement of electron momentum distribution (MD) provides a tight connection between the dressing-free MD and the dressed MD. Such connection establishes universal structures in the composition of streaking covariance that are common across different MDs, regardless of their exact shape. Building on this robust framework, we have developed methods for retrieving temporal information from angular streaking measurements. By providing a detailed understanding of the covariance structure in angular streaking experiments, our work enables more accurate and robust temporal measurements in a wide range of experimental scenarios. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2411.01729v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2411.01729v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 3 November, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">22 pages, 13 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.01700">arXiv:2411.01700</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.01700">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2411.01700">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Chemical Physics">physics.chem-ph</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Attosecond Coherent Electron Motion in a Photoionized Aromatic Molecule </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Driver%2C+T">Taran Driver</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Guo%2C+Z">Zhaoheng Guo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Isele%2C+E">Erik Isele</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Grell%2C+G">Gilbert Grell</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ruberti%2C+M">Marco Ruberti</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=ONeal%2C+J+T">Jordan T.

Tracking this electronic motion across molecules requires coupling attosecond time resolution to atomic-scale spatial sensitivity. In this work, we employ a pair of attosecond x-ray pulses from an x-ray free-electron laser to follow electron motion resulting from the sudden removal of an electron from a prototypical aromatic system, para-aminophenol. X-ray absorption enables tracking this motion with atomic-site specificity. Our measurements are compared with state-of-the-art computational modeling, reproducing the observed response across multiple timescales. Sub-femtosecond dynamics are assigned to states undergoing non-radiative decay, while few-femtosecond oscillatory motion is associated with electronic wavepacket motion in stable cation states, that will eventually couple to nuclear motion.

Our design features a ${\sim2}$~m long electron drift tube and electrostatic retardation lens, achieving sub-electronvolt (eV) electron kinetic energy resolution for high energy (several hundred eV) electrons with close to 4$蟺$ collection efficiency. A segmented anode electron detector enables the simultaneous collection of photoelectron spectra in high resolution and high collection efficiency modes. This versatile instrument is installed at the TMO endstation at the LCLS x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL). In this paper, we demonstrate its high resolution, collection efficiency and spatial selectivity in measurements where it is coupled to an XFEL source. These combined characteristics are designed to enable high-resolution time-resolved measurements using x-ray photoelectron, absorption, and Auger-Meitner spectroscopy. We also describe the pervasive artifact in MBES time-of-flight spectra that arises from a periodic modulation in electron detection efficiency, and present a robust analysis procedure for its removal. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2406.13083v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2406.13083v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 4 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 18 June, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> June 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.12764">arXiv:2402.12764</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.12764">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2402.12764">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic Physics">physics.atom-ph</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Attosecond Delays in X-ray Molecular Ionization </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Driver%2C+T">Taran Driver</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Mountney%2C+M">Miles Mountney</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+J">Jun Wang</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ortmann%2C+L">Lisa Ortmann</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Al-Haddad%2C+A">Andre Al-Haddad</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Berrah%2C+N">Nora Berrah</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Bostedt%2C+C">Christoph Bostedt</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Champenois%2C+E+G">Elio G.

Sub-femtosecond duration light pulses provide the requisite tools to resolve the dynamics of photoionization. Accordingly, the past decade has produced a large volume of work on photoionization delays following single photon absorption of an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) photon. However, the measurement of time-resolved core-level photoionization remained out of reach. The required x-ray photon energies needed for core-level photoionization were not available with attosecond tabletop sources. We have now measured the x-ray photoemission delay of core-level electrons, and here report unexpectedly large delays, ranging up to 700 attoseconds in NO near the oxygen K-shell threshold. These measurements exploit attosecond soft x-ray pulses from a free-electron laser (XFEL) to scan across the entire region near the K-shell threshold. Furthermore, we find the delay spectrum is richly modulated, suggesting several contributions including transient trapping of the photoelectron due to shape resonances, collisions with the Auger-Meitner electron that is emitted in the rapid non-radiative relaxation of the molecule, and multi-electron scattering effects. The results demonstrate how x-ray attosecond experiments, supported by comprehensive theoretical modelling, can unravel the complex correlated dynamics of core-level photoionization. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2402.12764v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2402.12764v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 20 February, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.15250">arXiv:2401.15250</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.15250">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2401.15250">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Accelerator Physics">physics.acc-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic Physics">physics.atom-ph</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Experimental Demonstration of Attosecond Pump-Probe Spectroscopy with an X-ray Free-Electron Laser </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Guo%2C+Z">Zhaoheng Guo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Driver%2C+T">Taran Driver</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Beauvarlet%2C+S">Sandra Beauvarlet</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Cesar%2C+D">David Cesar</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Duris%2C+J">Joseph Duris</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Franz%2C+P+L">Paris L.

Specifically, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated incredible acuity for tasks such as feature extraction or parameter estimation. Here we test CNNs on strong-field ionization photoelectron spectra, training on theoretical data sets to `invert&#39; experimental data. Pulse characterization is used as a `testing ground&#39;, specifically we retrieve the laser intensity, where `traditional&#39; measurements typically lead to 20% uncertainty. We report on crucial data augmentation techniques required to successfully train on theoretical data and return consistent results from experiments, including accounting for detector saturation. The same procedure can be repeated to apply CNNs in a range of scenarios for strong-field ionization. Using a predictive uncertainty estimation, reliable laser intensity uncertainties of a few percent can be extracted, which are consistently lower than those given by traditional techniques. Using interpretability methods can reveal parts of the distribution that are most sensitive to laser intensity, which can be directly associated with holographic interferences. The CNNs employed provide an accurate and convenient ways to extract parameters, and represent a novel interpretational tool for strong-field ionization spectra. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2303.13940v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2303.13940v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 October, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 24 March, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">13 pages, 5 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> New J.

A promising method is laser-induced Coulomb Explosion Imaging (CEI) where a laser pulse rapidly ionizes many electrons from a molecule, causing the remaining ions to undergo Coulomb repulsion. The ion momenta are used to reconstruct the molecular geometry which is tracked over time (i.e. filmed) by ionizing at an adjustable delay with respect to the start of interatomic motion. Results are distorted, however, by ultrafast motion during the ionizing pulse. We studied this effect in water and filmed the rapid &#34;slingshot&#34; motion that enhances ionization and distorts CEI results. Our investigation uncovered both the geometry and mechanism of the enhancement which may inform CEI experiments in many other polyatomic molecules. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2210.13645v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2210.13645v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 24 October, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2022. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.09480">arXiv:2210.09480</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.09480">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2210.09480">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic Physics">physics.atom-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability">physics.data-an</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/acc201">10.1088/1367-2630/acc201 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Photon Energy-Resolved Velocity Map Imaging from Spectral Domain Ghost Imaging </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+J">Jun Wang</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Driver%2C+T+C">Taran C.

We demonstrate its efficacy with the results from the photoionization of the $2p$-shell of argon using the FLASH free-electron laser~(FEL). Distinct spectral features due to the spin-orbit splitting of Ar$^+(2p^{-1})$ are resolved, despite the large average bandwidth of the ionizing pulses from the FEL. This demonstrates a clear advantage over the conventional analysis method, and it will be broadly beneficial for velocity map imaging experiments with FEL sources. The retrieved linewidth of the binding energy spectrum approaches the resolution limitation prescribed by the spectrometers used to collect the data.

These patterns show the interference between two or more superposed quantum electron trajectories, which are defined by their ionization times and subsequent evolution in the laser field. We determine the ionization time separation between interfering pairs of electron orbits by performing a differential Fourier analysis on the measured momentum spectrum. We identify electron holograms formed by trajectory pairs whose ionization times are separated by less than a single quarter cycle, between a quarter cycle and half cycle, between a half cycle and three fourths of a cycle, and a full cycle apart. We compare our experimental results to the predictions of the Coulomb quantum orbit strong-field approximation (CQSFA), with significant success. We also time-filter the CQSFA trajectory calculations to demonstrate the validity of the technique on spectra with known time correlations. As a general analysis technique, the filter can be applied to all energy- and angularly-resolved datasets to recover time correlations between interfering electron pathways, providing an important tool to analyze any strong-field ionization spectra. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2205.07166v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2205.07166v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 14 May, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">11 pages, 7 figures, submitted to Physical Review X</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03697">arXiv:2107.03697</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.03697">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2107.03697">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ac4283">10.1088/1367-2630/ac4283 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Single Particle Detection System for Strong-Field QED Experiments </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Salgado%2C+F+C">F.

In this paper, we describe a particle detector capable of diagnosing single leptons from SF-QED interactions and discuss the background level simulations for the upcoming Experiment-320 at FACET-II (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory). The single particle detection system described here combines pixelated scintillation LYSO screens and a Cherenkov calorimeter. We detail the performance of the system using simulations and a calibration of the Cherenkov detector at the ELBE accelerator. Single 3 GeV leptons are expected to produce approximately 537 detectable photons in a single calorimeter channel. This signal is compared to Monte-Carlo simulations of the experiment. A signal-to-noise ratio of 18 in a single Cherenkov calorimeter detector is expected and a spectral resolution of 2% is achieved using the pixelated LYSO screens. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2107.03697v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2107.03697v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 9 December, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 8 July, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> New J.

The required intensity to reach this regime, $\sim10^{29}\,\mathrm{Wcm^{-2}}$, cannot be achieved even with the most intense lasers now being planned/constructed without a sizeable Lorentz boost provided by interactions with ultrarelativistic particles. Seeded laser-laser collisions may access this strong-field QED regime at laser intensities as low as $\sim10^{24}\,\mathrm{Wcm^{-2}}$. Counterpropagating e-beam--laser interactions exceed the QED critical field at still lower intensities ($\sim10^{20}\,\mathrm{Wcm^{-2}}$ at $\sim10\,\mathrm{GeV}$). Novel emergent phenomena are predicted to occur in the &#34;QED plasma regime&#34;, where strong-field quantum and collective plasma effects play off one another. Here the electron beam density becomes a decisive factor. Thus, the challenge is not just to exceed the QED critical field, but to do so with high quality, approaching solid-density electron beams. Even though laser wakefield accelerators (LWFA) represent a very promising research field, conventional accelerators still provide orders of magnitude higher charge densities at energies $\gtrsim10\,\mathrm{GeV}$. Co-location of extremely dense and highly energetic electron beams with a multi-petawatt laser system would therefore enable seminal research opportunities in high-field physics and laboratory astrophysics. This white paper elucidates the potential scientific impact of multi-beam capabilities that combine a multi-PW optical laser, high-energy/density electron beam, and high-intensity x rays and outlines how to achieve such capabilities by co-locating a 3-10 PW laser with a state-of-the-art linear accelerator. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2105.11607v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2105.11607v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 24 May, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">3 pages</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.08854">arXiv:2105.08854</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2105.08854">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2105.08854">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Chemical Physics">physics.chem-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abj2096">10.1126/science.abj2096 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Attosecond Coherent Electron Motion in Auger-Meitner Decay </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Li%2C+S">Siqi Li</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Driver%2C+T">Taran Driver</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Rosenberger%2C+P">Philipp Rosenberger</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Champenois%2C+E+G">Elio G.

The accurate probing of ultrafast electron hole dynamics requires measurements that have both sufficient temporal resolution and can detect the localization of a specific hole within the molecule. We report an investigation of the dynamics of inner valence hole states in isopropanol where we use an x-ray pump/x-ray probe experiment, with site and state-specific probing of a transient hole state localized near the oxygen atom in the molecule, together with an ab initio theoretical treatment. We record the signature of transient hole dynamics and make the first observation of dynamics driven by frustrated Auger-Meitner transitions. We verify that the hole lifetime is consistent with our theoretical prediction. This state-specific measurement paves the way to widespread application for observations of transient hole dynamics localized in space and time in molecules and thus to charge transfer phenomena that are fundamental in chemical and material physics. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2105.06507v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2105.06507v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 13 May, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

By examining the three-body dicationic dissociation channel, D$^{+}$/D$^{+}$/O, for both few- and multi-cycle laser pulses, strong evidence for intra-pulse dynamics is observed. The extracted angle- and energy-resolved double ionization yields are compared to classical trajectory simulations of the dissociation dynamics occurring from different electronic states of the dication. In contrast with measurements of single photon double ionization, pronounced departure from the expectations for vertical ionization is observed, even for pulses as short as 10~fs in duration. We outline numerous mechanisms by which the strong laser field can modify the nuclear wavefunction en-route to final states of the dication where molecular fragmentation occurs. Specifically, we consider the possibility of a coordinate-dependence to the strong-field ionization rate, intermediate nuclear motion in monocation states prior to double ionization, and near-resonant laser-induced dipole couplings in the ion. These results highlight the fact that, for small and light molecules such as D$_2$O, a vertical-transition treatment of the ionization dynamics is not sufficient to reproduce the features seen experimentally in the strong field coincidence double-ionization data. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2104.05869v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2104.05869v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 10 May, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 12 April, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> April 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">14 pages, 13 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

This critical sub-cycle motion is often obscured by longer time-scale effects such as ring-shaped patterns that appear in above-threshold ionization (ATI). In the present work, we overcome this problem by combining two novel techniques in theory and experimental analysis: unit-cell averaging and time-filtering data and simulations. Together these suppress ATI rings and enable an unprecedented highly-detailed quantitative match between strong-field ionization experiments in argon and the Coulomb-quantum orbit strong-field approximation (CQSFA) theory. Velocity map images reveal fine modulations on the holographic spider-like interference fringes that form near the polarization axis. CQSFA theory traces this to the interference of three types of electron pathways. The level of agreement between experiment and theory allows sensitive determination of quantum phase differences and symmetries, providing an important tool for quantitative dynamical imaging in quantum systems. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2102.12000v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2102.12000v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 23 February, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">13 Pages, 8 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

Ion imaging methods based on dissociation or Coulomb explosion therefore have difficulty faithfully recording the geometry dependence of the field ionization that initiates the dissociation process. Here we compare the strong-field double ionization and subsequent dissociation of water (both H$_2$O and D$_2$O) in 10-fs and 40-fs 800-nm laser pulses. We find that 10-fs pulses turn off before substantial internuclear motion occurs, whereas rapid internuclear motion can take place during the double ionization process for 40-fs pulses. The short-pulse measurements are consistent with a simple tunnel ionization picture, whose predictions help interpret the motion observed in the long-pulse measurements. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2101.12301v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2101.12301v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 28 January, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2021. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">9 pages, 5 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

Thymine is photoexcited in the UV and probed with X-ray photon energies at and below the oxygen K-edge. After initial photoexcitation to a 蟺蟺* excited state, thymine is known to undergo internal conversion to an n蟺* excited state with a strong resonance at the oxygen K-edge, red-shifted from the ground state 蟺* resonances of thymine (see our previous study Wolf et al., Nat. Commun., 2017, 8, 29). We resolve and compare the Auger-Meitner electron spectra associated both with the excited state and ground state resonances, and distinguish participator and spectator decay contributions. Furthermore, we observe simultaneously with the decay of the n蟺* state signatures the appearance of additional resonant Auger-Meitner contributions at photon energies between the n蟺* state and the ground state resonances. We assign these contributions to population transfer from the n蟺* state to a 蟺蟺* triplet state via intersystem crossing on the picosecond timescale based on simulations of the X-ray absorption spectra in the vibrationally hot triplet state. Moreover, we identify signatures from the initially excited 蟺蟺* singlet state which we have not observed in our previous study. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2009.14355v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2009.14355v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 29 September, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2020. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.14724">arXiv:2006.14724</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.14724">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2006.14724">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic Physics">physics.atom-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Quantum Physics">quant-ph</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Nonlinear resonant X-ray Raman scattering </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Haber%2C+J">Johann Haber</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Kaldun%2C+A">Andreas Kaldun</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Teitelbaum%2C+S+W">Samuel W.

Upon illuminating Fe and Cu metal foils with intense x-ray pulses tuned near their respective K edges, photons at nearly twice the incoming photon energy are emitted. The signal rises quadratically with the incoming intensity, consistent with two-photon excitation. The spectrum of emitted high-energy photons comprises multiple Raman lines that disperse with the incident photon energy. Upon reaching the double K-shell ionization threshold, the signal strength undergoes a marked rise. Above this threshold, the lines cease dispersing, turning into orescence lines with energies much greater than obtainable by single electron transitions, and additional Raman lines appear. We attribute these processes to electron-correlation mediated multielectron transitions involving double-core hole excitation and various two-electron de-excitation processes to a final state involving one or more L and M core-holes. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2006.14724v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2006.14724v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 25 June, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> June 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">6 pages, 4 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.02096">arXiv:2003.02096</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.02096">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2003.02096">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Chemical Physics">physics.chem-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Quantum Physics">quant-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0007058">10.1063/5.0007058 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Strictly Non-Adiabatic Quantum Control of the Acetylene Dication Using an Infrared Field </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Liekhus-Schmaltz%2C+C">Chelsea Liekhus-Schmaltz</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhu%2C+X">Xiaolei Zhu</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=McCracken%2C+G+A">Gregory A.

Within the next decade this effort is expected to reach nearly $10^{24}\,\mathrm{W}/\mathrm{cm^2}$ in the lab frame by focusing of 100 PW, near-infrared lasers. A major driving force behind this effort is the possibility to study strong-field vacuum breakdown and an accompanying electron-positron pair plasma via a quantum electrodynamic (QED) cascade [Edwin Cartlidge, &#34;The light fantastic&#34;, Science 359, 382 (2018)]. Whereas Europe is focusing on all-optical 10 PW-class laser facilities (e.g., Apollon and ELI), China is already planning on co-locating a 100 PW laser system with a 25 keV superconducting XFEL and thus implicitly also a high-quality electron beam [Station of Extreme Light (SEL) at the Shanghai Superintense-Ultrafast Lasers Facility (SULF)]. This white paper elucidates the seminal scientific opportunities facilitated by colliding dense, multi-GeV electron beams with multi-PW optical laser pulses. Such a multi-beam facility would enable the experimental exploration of extreme HEDP environments by generating electron-positron pair plasmas with unprecedented densities and temperatures, where the interplay between strong-field quantum and collective plasma effects becomes decisive. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2002.10051v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2002.10051v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 23 February, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">11 pages, 1 figure, 1 table</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.01323">arXiv:1911.01323</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.01323">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1911.01323">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Chemical Physics">physics.chem-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic Physics">physics.atom-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.10.011065">10.1103/PhysRevX.10.011065 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Characterizing multiphoton excitation using time-resolved X-ray scattering </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Bucksbaum%2C+P+H">Philip H.

An established experimental method for probing ultrafast dynamics is X-ray transient absorption spectroscopy, where the X-ray absorption spectrum is measured by scanning the central photon energy and recording the resultant photoproducts. The spectral bandwidth inherent to attosecond pulses is wide compared to the resonant features typically probed, which generally precludes the application of this technique in the attosecond regime. In this paper we propose and demonstrate a new technique to conduct transient absorption spectroscopy with broad bandwidth attosecond pulses with the aid of ghost imaging, recovering sub-bandwidth resolution in photoproduct-based absorption measurements. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1909.07441v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1909.07441v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 16 September, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">13 pages, 3 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.10728">arXiv:1906.10728</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.10728">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1906.10728">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic Physics">physics.atom-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Quantum Physics">quant-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.102.023118">10.1103/PhysRevA.102.023118 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Electron Correlation Effects in Attosecond Photoionization of CO$_{2}$ </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Kamalov%2C+A">Andrei Kamalov</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Wang%2C+A+L">Anna L.

Unfortunately, coherent laser-based upconversion of infrared photons to vacuum-ultraviolet and soft x-ray high-order harmonics in gaseous, liquid and solid targets is notoriously inefficient. In dense nonlinear media, the limiting factor is strong re-absorption of the generated high-energy photons. Here we overcome this limitation by allowing high-order harmonics generated from a periodic array of thin one-dimensional crystalline silicon ridge waveguides to propagate in the vacuum gaps between the ridges, thereby avoiding the high absorption loss of the bulk nonlinear material and resulting in a ~ 100-fold increase in propagation length. As the grating period is varied, each high-harmonic shows a different and marked modulation, indicating the onset of coherent addition which is otherwise suppressed in absorption-limited emission. By beating the absorption limit, our results pave the way for bright coherent short-wavelength sources and their implementation in nano-photonic devices. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1905.02821v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1905.02821v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 7 May, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2019. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.02824">arXiv:1903.02824</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1903.02824">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1903.02824">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Multiple Fourier Component Analysis of X-ray Second Harmonic Generation in Diamond </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Chakraborti%2C+P">P.

In particular, X-ray-optical mixing [3], X-ray second harmonic generation (XSHG) [4] and nonlinear Compton scattering (NLCS) [5] have been recently observed for the first time using XFELs. The former two experiments as well as X-ray parametric downconversion (XPDC)[6, 7] are well explained by nonlinearities in the impulse approximation[8], where electrons in a solid target are assumed to be quasi free for X-ray interactions far from atomic resonances. However, the energy of the photons generated in NLCS at intensities reaching up to 4 x 1020 W/cm2 exhibit an anomalous red-shift that is in violation with the free-electron model. Here we investigate the underlying physics of X-ray nonlinear interactions at intensities on order of 1016 W/cm2. Specifically, we perform a systematic study of XSHG in diamond. While one phase-matching geometry has been measured in Shwartz et al.[4], we extend these studies to multiple Fourier components and with significantly higher statistics, which allows us to determine the second order nonlinear structure factor. We measure the efficiency, angular dependence, and contributions from different source terms of the process. We find good agreement of our measurements with the quasi-free electron model. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1903.02824v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1903.02824v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 7 March, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2019. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.04244">arXiv:1710.04244</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.04244">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-018-0233-6">10.1038/s41567-018-0233-6 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Enhanced High-Harmonic Generation from an All-Dielectric Metasurface </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Liu%2C+H">Hanzhe Liu</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Guo%2C+C">Cheng Guo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Vampa%2C+G">Giulio Vampa</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zhang%2C+J+L">Jingyuan Linda Zhang</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Sarmiento%2C+T">Tomas Sarmiento</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Xiao%2C+M">Meng Xiao</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Bucksbaum%2C+P+H">Philip H.

All-dielectric metasurfaces exhibit high damage thresholds and strong enhancement of the driving field, making them attractive platforms to control high-harmonics and other high-field processes at nanoscales. Here we report enhanced non-perturbative high-harmonic emission from a Si metasurface that possesses a sharp Fano resonance resulting from a classical analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency. Harmonic emission is enhanced by more than two orders of magnitude compared to unpatterned samples. The enhanced high harmonics are highly anisotropic with excitation polarization and are selective to excitation wavelength due to its resonant feature. By combining nanofabrication technology and ultrafast strong-field physics, our work paves the way for designing new compact ultrafast photonic devices that operate under high intensities and short wavelengths. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1710.04244v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1710.04244v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 11 October, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2017. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">14 pages, 4 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.07214">arXiv:1708.07214</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.07214">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1708.07214">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1708.07214">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Chemical Physics">physics.chem-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic and Molecular Clusters">physics.atm-clus</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4997253">10.1063/1.4997253 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Geometric Dependence of Strong Field Enhanced Ionization in D$_{2}$O </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=McCracken%2C+G+A">Gregory A.

We observe dication dissociation into OD$^{+}$/D$^{+}$ dominates when the polarization is out of the plane of the molecule, whereas trication dissociation into O$^{+}$/D$^{+}$/D$^{+}$ is strongly dominant when the polarization is aligned along the D-D axis. Dication dissociation into O/D$^{+}$/D$^{+}$, and O$^{+}$/D$_2$$^{+}$ is not seen, nor is there any significant fragmentation into multiple ions when the laser is polarized along the C$_{2v}$ symmetry axis of the molecule. Even below the saturation intensity for OD$^{+}$/D$^{+}$, the O$^{+}$/D$^{+}$/D$^{+}$ channel has higher yield. By analyzing how the laser field is oriented within the molecular frame for both channels, we show that enhanced ionization is driving the triply charged three body breakup, but is not active for the doubly charged two body breakup. We conclude that laser-induced distortion of the molecular potential suppresses multiple ionization along the C$_{2v}$ axis, but enhances ionization along the D-D direction. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1708.07214v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1708.07214v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 23 August, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2017. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.03847">arXiv:1708.03847</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.03847">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1708.03847">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Chemical Physics">physics.chem-ph</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Filming non-radiative population transfer: Time-resolved x-ray scattering near an avoided crossing </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Ware%2C+M+R">Matthew R.

Photoabsorption in molecular iodine at 520 nm produces a superposition of two dipole-allowed nearly degenerate electronic states, which interact due to non-adiabatic coupling. We show experimental evidence that the mixing of the nuclear wavepackets from the two electronic states at the avoided crossing leads to ultrafast changes in the angular composition of the scattering pattern. This provides a novel means to study transitions in excited molecular systems.

Due to the stochastic SASE operating principles and other technical issues the output pulses are subject to large fluctuations, making it necessary to characterize the x-ray pulses on every shot for data sorting purposes. We present a technique that applies machine learning tools to predict x-ray pulse properties using simple electron beam and x-ray parameters as input. Using this technique at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), we report mean errors below 0.3 eV for the prediction of the photon energy at 530 eV and below 1.6 fs for the prediction of the delay between two x-ray pulses. We also demonstrate spectral shape prediction with a mean agreement of 97%.

Our results indicate that attosecond SERS transition probabilities may be understood in terms of two-photon generalized cross sections even in the high-intensity limit for extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1610.01190v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1610.01190v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 4 October, 2016; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> October 2016. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03039">arXiv:1608.03039</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1608.03039">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1608.03039">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1608.03039">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic Physics">physics.atom-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Quantum Physics">quant-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.117.153003">10.1103/PhysRevLett.117.153003 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Self-referenced coherent diffraction x-ray movie of Angstrom- and femtosecond-scale atomic motion </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Glownia%2C+J+M">J.

They play a fundamental role in describing the molecular dynamics beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and have been used to understand a large variety of effects, from photofragmentation and isomerization to more exotic applications such as exciton fission in semiconductors. However, few studies have used the features of a CI as a tool for coherent control. Here we demonstrate two modes of control around a conical intersection. The first uses a continuous light field to control the population on the two intersecting electronic states in the vicinity of a CI. The second uses a pulsed light field to control wavepackets that are subjected to the geometric phase shift in transit around a CI. This second technique is likely to be useful for studying the role of nuclear dynamics in electronic coherence phenomena. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1607.02558v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1607.02558v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 4 August, 2016; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 8 July, 2016; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2016. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.02663">arXiv:1606.02663</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.02663">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1606.02663">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1606.02663">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic and Molecular Clusters">physics.atm-clus</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.95.061403">10.1103/PhysRevA.95.061403 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Imaging the Breakdown of Molecular-Frame Dynamics through Rotational Uncoupling </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zipp%2C+L+J">Lucas J.

The interference is a characteristic of dissociation around a laser-induced conical intersection (LICI), which is a point of contact between two surfaces in the dressed 2-dimensional Born-Oppenheimer potential energy landscape of a diatomic molecule in a strong laser field. The interference magnitude and angular period depend strongly on the energy difference between the initial state and the LICI, consistent with coherent diffraction around a cone-shaped potential barrier whose width and thickness depend on the relative energy of the initial state and the cone apex.

These phenomena have been studied in diverse systems mimicking the kicked rotor, such as cold atoms in optical lattices, or coupled photonic structures. Recently, it was predicted that several solid state quantum localisation phenomena - Anderson localisation, Bloch oscillations, and Tamm-Shockley surface states - may manifest themselves in the rotational dynamics of laser-kicked molecules. Here, we report the first observation of rotational Bloch oscillations in a gas of nitrogen molecules kicked by a periodic train of femtosecond laser pulses. A controllable detuning from the quantum resonance creates an effective accelerating potential in angular momentum space, inducing Bloch-like oscillations of the rotational excitation. These oscillations are measured via the temporal modulation of the refractive index of the gas. Our results introduce room-temperature laser-kicked molecules as a new laboratory for studies of localisation phenomena in quantum transport. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1504.06811v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1504.06811v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 26 April, 2015; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> April 2015. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">5 pages, 5 figures</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Phys.

It is primarily sensitive to the position of electrons and their momentum distribution. Elastic X-ray scattering forms the basis of atomic structural determination while inelastic Compton scattering is often used as a spectroscopic probe of both single-particle excitations and collective modes. X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are unique tools for studying matter on its natural time and length scales due to their bright and coherent ultrashort pulses. However, in the focus of an XFEL the assumption of a weak linear probe breaks down, and nonlinear light-matter interactions can become ubiquitous. The field can be sufficiently high that even non-resonant multiphoton interactions at hard X-rays wavelengths become relevant. Here we report the observation of one of the most fundamental nonlinear X-ray-matter interactions, the simultaneous Compton scattering of two identical photons producing a single photon at nearly twice the photon energy. We measure scattered photons with an energy near 18 keV generated from solid beryllium irradiated by 8.8-9.75 keV XFEL pulses. The intensity in the X-ray focus reaches up to 4x20 W/cm2, which corresponds to a peak electric field two orders of magnitude higher than the atomic unit of field-strength and within four orders of magnitude of the quantum electrodynamic critical field. The observed signal scales quadratically in intensity and is emitted into a non-dipolar pattern, consistent with the simultaneous two-photon scattering from free electrons. However, the energy of the generated photons shows an anomalously large redshift only present at high intensities. This indicates that the instantaneous high-intensity scattering effectively interacts with a different electron momentum distribution than linear Compton scattering, with implications for the study of atomic-scale structure and dynamics of matter <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1502.00704v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1502.00704v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 27 February, 2015; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 2 February, 2015; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2015. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1501.04136">arXiv:1501.04136</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1501.04136">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1501.04136">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1501.04136">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Dynamical Localization in Molecular Alignment of Kicked Quantum Rotors </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Kamalov%2C+A">Andrei Kamalov</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Broege%2C+D+W">Douglas W.

The technique uses a pair of femtosecond pulses: a photoexcitation pulse initiating excited state dynamics followed by a soft x-ray (SXR) probe pulse that core ionizes certain atoms inside the molecule. We observe the Auger decay of the core hole as a function of delay between the photoexcitation and SXR pulses. The core hole decay is particularly sensitive to the local valence electrons near the core and shows new types of propensity rules, compared to dipole selection rules in SXR absorption or emission spectroscopy. We apply the delayed ultrafast x-ray Auger probing (DUXAP) method to the specific problem of nucleobase photoprotection to demonstrate its potential. The ultraviolet photoexcited 蟺蟺* states of nucleobases are prone to chemical reactions with neighboring bases. To avoid this, the single molecules funnel the 蟺蟺* population to lower lying electronic states on an ultrafast timescale under violation of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The new type of propensity rule, which is confirmed by Auger decay simulations, allows us to have increased sensitivity on the direct relaxation from the 蟺蟺* state to the vibrationally hot electronic ground state. For the nucleobase thymine, we measure a decay constant of 300 fs in agreement with previous quantum chemical simulations. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1301.3104v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1301.3104v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 14 January, 2013; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2013. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1212.3728">arXiv:1212.3728</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1212.3728">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Chemical Physics">physics.chem-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atomic and Molecular Clusters">physics.atm-clus</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Quantum Physics">quant-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4829766">10.1063/1.4829766 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Enhancement of strong-field multiple ionization in the vicinity of the conical intersection in 1,3-cyclohexadiene ring opening </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Petrovic%2C+V+S">Vladimir S.

However, until now, asymmetric tops, which comprise the widest and most general class of molecules, remain principally unexplored. This gap is particularly evident in high harmonic generation (HHG). HHG has successfully obtained structural information about electron hole pairs or orbitals for simple linear molecules. Unfortunately, for more complicated molecules, the emission from different molecular directions interfere, concealing individual angular signatures. Here we introduce a method to extract orientation-dependent information from asymmetric tops and apply it to the sulfur dioxide (SO2) molecule. We use the rotational revival structure to decompose the angular contributions of HHG emission. This method also extends HHG-based tomographic imaging into three dimensions and makes it applicable to a much wider class of systems than previously envisioned. Our results suggest that HHG is a powerful tool to probe electron orbital structure and dynamics of complex molecules. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1207.2517v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1207.2517v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 January, 2013; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 10 July, 2012; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2012. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Main text and supplementary information</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Nat, Communications 5, 3190 (2014) </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1109.5756">arXiv:1109.5756</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1109.5756">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Chemical Physics">physics.chem-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Quantum Physics">quant-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1021/jp208384b">10.1021/jp208384b <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Control of 1,3-Cyclohexadiene Photoisomerization Using Light-Induced Conical Intersections </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Kim%2C+J">Jaehee Kim</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Tao%2C+H">Hongli Tao</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=White%2C+J+L">James L.

Our experiment uses the ratio of H2O and D2O high harmonic yields to isolate the characteristic nuclear motion of the molecular ionic states. The nuclear motion initiated via ionization of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is small and is expected to lead to similar harmonic yields for the two isotopes. In contrast, ionization of the second least bound orbital (HOMO-1) exhibits itself via a strong bending motion which creates a significant isotope effect. We elaborate on this interpretation by simulating strong field ionization and high harmonic generation from the water isotopes using the time-dependent Schr枚dinger equation. We expect that this isotope marking scheme for probing excited ionic states in strong field processes can be generalized to other molecules. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;"
