High-repetition-rate attosecond XUV beamlines at ELI ALPS for studying ultrafast phenomena - EurekAlert


The study of processes occurring at attosecond timescales utilizing extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses is at the forefront of ultrafast science. These XUV pulses, produced via high-harmonic generation (HHG) from intense laser–matter interaction, demonstrate unprecedented temporal resolution in observing and influencing electron dynamics. Such pulses enable the exploration of coherent control of wave packets, ultrafast spectroscopy of quantum materials, and real-time probing of molecular systems, charge transfer dynamics in chemical and biologically relevant systems and even investigation of the fastest processes in relativistic plasmas. These studies demand energetic pulses at high-repetition rates to enhance signal-to-noise ratio and provide adequate statistics.
