Atomic clusters enable the well-controlled generation of nanoscale plasmas allowing for the study of their ultrafast light-induced correlated and collective dynamics. In particular, short-wavelength FELs can probe these dynamics in a regime that is fundamentally different from the well-known near-infrared domain. Plasma processes like collisional plasma heating, collective resonance excitation, and ionization avalanching that are generic in the NIR are strongly suppressed in the XUV and soft X-ray domain. Instead, sequential direct photo- or Auger emission dominates the plasma generation and heating dynamics. Signatures of this multistep ionization are characteristic plateau-like electron spectra and frustration of direct photo-emission by the cluster potential. Here we report the first direct time-resolved measurement of the underlying cluster potential evolution using the nanoplasma oscilloscope method, implemented in a recent two-color XUV pump-probe experiment at the seeded, high gain harmonic generation FEL FERMI FEL-2 operating in double stage mode.
