Pulse length effects on autoionizing states under the influence of intense SASE XUV fields

The Fano absorption line shape of an autoionizing state encodes information on its internal atomic structure and dynamics. When driven near-resonantly with intense extreme ultraviolet (XUV) electric fields, the absorption profile can be deliberately modified, including observable changes of both the line-shape asymmetry and strength of the resonance, revealing information on the underlying dynamics of the system in response to such external...
