We have set up a high harmonic laser source for investigating gas phase photoionization in a cold target recoil ion momentum spectrometer (COLTRIMS) in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) wavelength range down to, presently, ≈ 30 nm. High order harmonic radiation is generated by focusing ultra-short Ti:Sapphire laser pulses (pulse width ≈ 40 fs) into Argon gas as the non-linear medium. For efficient generation a laser system is used which deliveres up to 6 mJ pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate. Single harmonics are selected with a grazing incidence monochromator and focused with a toroidal mirror on the gas target in our COLTRIMS setup. The target gas is supplied in a well collimated cold atomic beam (density ≈ 5 × 1010 cm−3). We will present first experimental results on correlated electron-ion momentum spectroscopy after single- and double- (Xe) photoionization of several noble gas targets using this short pulse, table top XUV light source.
