X-RAY PHOTONICS

Attosecond XFEL for pump–probe experiments

An Author Correction to this article was published on 05 March 2020

This article has been updated

A high-intensity attosecond X-ray free-electron laser, meeting the demands of attosecond science for research on the sub-femtosecond-timescale quantum-mechanical motion of electrons in molecules and solids, is now available for attosecond pump–attosecond probe experiments in the soft X-ray region.
