A new method for molecule imaging — •Teodora Baeva — Institut für theoretische Physik I, Universität Düsseldorf, Germany

Imaging of molecules with sub-angstrom precision and sub-femtosecond resolution is one of the hottest topics in the field of molecule physics at the moment. Two basic methods attract attention : imaging by means of high-harmonics generated by the molecule in a laser field and imaging by means of rescattered electrons, which are ionised by the field and driven back to recolide.

We present a new method for molecule imaging based on the molecule interaction with a single attosecond pulse. We also introduce a new procedure for the effective generation of such pulses by means of laser-overdense plasma interactrion and tools for their manipulation.
