    XUV double-pulses with femtosecond to 650 ps separation from a multilayer-mirror-based split-and-delay unit at FLASH
    (Chester : IUCr, 2018-8-3) Sauppe, Mario; Rompotis, Dimitrios; Erk, Benjamin; Bari, Sadia; Bischoff, Tobias; Boll, Rebecca; Bomme, Cédric; Bostedt, Christoph; Dörner, Simon; Düsterer, Stefan; Feigl, Torsten; Flückiger, Leonie; Gorkhover, Tais; Kolatzki, Katharina; Langbehn, Bruno; Monserud, Nils; Müller, Erland; Müller, Jan P.; Passow, Christopher; Ramm, Daniel; Rolles, Daniel; Schubert, Kaja; Schwob, Lucas; Senfftleben, Björn; Treusch, Rolf; Ulmer, Anatoli; Weigelt, Holger; Zimbalski, Jannis; Zimmermann, Julian; Möller, Thomas; Rupp, Daniela
    Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and X-ray free-electron lasers enable new scientific opportunities. Their ultra-intense coherent femtosecond pulses give unprecedented access to the structure of undepositable nanoscale objects and to transient states of highly excited matter. In order to probe the ultrafast complex light-induced dynamics on the relevant time scales, the multi-purpose end-station CAMP at the free-electron laser FLASH has been complemented by the novel multilayer-mirror-based split-and-delay unit DESC (DElay Stage for CAMP) for time-resolved experiments. XUV double-pulses with delays adjustable from zero femtoseconds up to 650 picoseconds are generated by reflecting under near-normal incidence, exceeding the time range accessible with existing XUV split-and-delay units. Procedures to establish temporal and spatial overlap of the two pulses in CAMP are presented, with emphasis on the optimization of the spatial overlap at long time-delays via time-dependent features, for example in ion spectra of atomic clusters.

    Jitter-correction for IR/UV-XUV pump-probe experiments at the FLASH free-electron laser
    ([Bad Honnef] : Dt. Physikalische Ges., 2017-04-10) Savelyev, Evgeny; Boll, Rebecca; Bomme, Cédric; Schirmel, Nora; Redlin, Harald; Erk, Benjamin; Düsterer, Stefan; Müller, Erland; Höppner, Hauke; Toleikis, Sven; Müller, Jost; Kristin Czwalinna, Marie; Treusch, Rolf; Kierspel, Thomas; Mullins, Terence; Trippel, Sebastian; Wiese, Joss; Küpper, Jochen; Brauβe, Felix; Krecinic, Faruk; Rouzée, Arnaud; Rudawski, Piotr; Johnsson, Per; Amini, Kasra; Lauer, Alexandra; Burt, Michael; Brouard, Mark; Christensen, Lauge; Thøgersen, Jan; Stapelfeldt, Henrik; Berrah, Nora; Müller, Maria; Ulmer, Anatoli; Techert, Simone; Rudenko, Artem; Rolles, Daniel
    In pump-probe experiments employing a free-electron laser (FEL) in combination with a synchronized optical femtosecond laser, the arrival-time jitter between the FEL pulse and the optical laser pulse often severely limits the temporal resolution that can be achieved. Here, we present a pump-probe experiment on the UV-induced dissociation of 2,6-difluoroiodobenzene (C6H3F2I) molecules performed at the FLASH FEL that takes advantage of recent upgrades of the FLASH timing and synchronization system to obtain high-quality data that are not limited by the FEL arrival-time jitter. We discuss in detail the necessary data analysis steps and describe the origin of the time-dependent effects in the yields and kinetic energies of the fragment ions that we observe in the experiment.
