Design and Commissioning of an Ionization Intensity Monitor
The dynamics of molecules and electrons takes place on timescales of femtoseconds and attoseconds, respectively. This requires ultrashort and intense extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses to be able to study them. Two sources that can generate intense XUV pulses are free-electron lasers (FELs) based on self amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) and high-order harmonic generation (HHG)driven by intense
