Using a split-mirror stage combined with a reaction microscope, autocorrelation traces of XUV pulses from the free-electron laser (FEL) at Hamburg were recorded for multiple ionization of atomic and molecular targets. Two characteristic time scales can be identified: the pulse-envelope duration and a substantially shorter coherence time. We conclude that the latter is a consequence of the internal pulse structure generated by the laser source. It is envisioned that this allows future pump-probe measurements with temporal resolution beneath the pulse duration. We reproduce and further characterise the FEL pulses using a partial-coherence model.
