    Signatures of Light-Induced Potential Energy Surfaces in H2+
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2020) Kübel, M.; Spanner, M.; Dube, Z.; Naumov, A. Yu; Vrakking, M.J.J.; Corkum, P.B.; Villeneuve, D.M.; Staudte, A.
    Using theory and Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy we find signatures of light-induced molecular potential energy surfaces in the 3-dimensional proton momentum distributions of dissociating H+2. © 2020 Journal of Physics: Conference Series. All rights reserved.

    Delayed relaxation of highly excited naphthalene cations
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2020) Reitsma, G.; Hummert, J.; Dura, J.; Loriot, V.; Vrakking, M.J.J.; Lépine, F.; Kornilov, O.
    The efficiency of energy transfer in ultrafast electronic relaxation of molecules depends strongly on the complex interplay between electronic and nuclear motion. In this study we use wavelength-selected XUV pulses to induce relaxation dynamics of highly excited cationic states of naphthalene. Surprisingly, the observed relaxation lifetimes increase with the cationic excitation energy. We propose that this is a manifestation of a quantum mechanical population trapping that leads to delayed relaxation of molecules in the regions with a high density of excited states. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

    Intracycle interference in ionization of Ar by a laser assisted XUV pulse
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Arbó, D.G.; López, S. D.; Kubin, M.; Hummert, J.; Vrakking, M.J.J.; Kornilov, O.
    Synopsis We present a theoretical and experimental study of the subcycle interference in laser assisted XUV ionization of Ar atoms. Averaging over the focal volume happens to blur the intracycle interference, which thus cannot be measured directly. We show that even at these conditions, the intracycle interference can be obtained through the subtraction of two different angle and energy-resolved distributions at slightly different laser intensities.

    Attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy without inversion symmetry
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2020) Drescher, L.; Vrakking, M.J.J.; Mikosch, J.
    Transient absorption is a very powerful observable in attosecond experiments on atoms, molecules and solids and is frequently used in experiments employing phase-locked few-cycle infrared and XUV laser pulses derived from high harmonic generation. We show numerically and analytically that in non-centrosymmetric systems, such as many polyatomic molecules, which-way interference enabled by the lack of parity conservation leads to new spectral absorption features, which directly reveal the laser electric field. The extension of attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) to such targets hence becomes sensitive to global and local inversion symmetry. We anticipate that ATAS will find new applications in non-centrosymmetric systems, in which the carrier-to-envelope phase of the infrared pulse becomes a relevant parameter and in which the orientation of the sample and the electronic symmetry of the molecule can be addressed. © 2020 The Author(s).

    Generation and characterization of isolated attosecond pulses for coincidence spectroscopy at 100 kHz repetition rate
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2020) Witting, T.; Furch, F.; Osolodkov, M.; Schell, F.; Menoni, C.; Schulz, C.P.; Vrakking, M.J.J.
    An attosecond pump-probe beamline with 100 kHz repetition rate for coincidence experiments has been developed. It is based on non-collinear optical parametric chirped pulse ampli-cation and delivers 100 µJ sub-4 fs to an high-harmonic generation source. Details on the generation and characterization of isolated attosecond pulses will be presented. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

    Mapping the dissociative ionization dynamics of molecular nitrogen with attosecond resolution
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2015) Klinker, M.; Trabattoni, A.; González-Vázquez, J.; Liu, C.; Sansone, G.; Linguerri, R.; Hochlaf, M..; Klei, J.; Vrakking, M.J.J.; Martin, F.; Nisoli, M.; Calegari, F.
    We wish to understand the processes underlying the ionization dynamics of N2 as experimentally induced and studied by recording the kinetic energy release (KER) in a XUV-pump/IR-probe setup. To this end a theoretical model was developed describing the ionization process using Dyson Orbitals and, subsequently, the dissociation process using a large set of diabatic potential energy surfaces (PES) on which to propagate. From said set of PES, a small subset is extracted allowing for the identification of one and two photon processes chiefly responsible for the experimentally observed features.
