When clusters get hit by intense laser pulses a nanoplasma is created within the clusters. Finally the clusters disintegrate while emitting electrons and photons.We investigate the complex nanoplasma dynamics of clusters that are irradiated with intense laser pulses by analysing their electron kinetic energy spectra. In distinct studies we examined those spectra of atomic and molecular clusters of oxygen, carbon dioxide, xenon and krypton as well as xenon-argon mixed clusters upon irradiation of intense near-infrared laser pulses or extreme ultraviolet pulses from the free electron laser FLASH. Pump-probe measurements and terahertz streaking were employed to observe autoionization and correlated electronic decay processes from previously unknown bound states in the samples. Terahertz streaking shows that these states are depopulated at least picoseconds to nanoseconds after the interaction of the respective laser pulses with the samples. The occurence of those late decay processes in a variety of excited cluster samples and by different sources of excitation suggests that those mechanisms are of general relevance for the relaxation of laser induced nanoplasmas.
