The ultrafast demagnetization is a fundamental problem of modern magnetism, with its microscopic origin remaining intensely debated. Particularly, the role played by the spin-orbit interaction in the moment dissipation to the lattice and that of the exchange interaction in the collapse of long-range order call for measurements capable of resolving the charge, spin and the orbital moment dynamics energy resolved. Here we use soft X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) with femtosecond X-ray produced by the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) to probe charge and band structure dynamics around the Fermi energy EF in a [Co/Pd] magnetic multilayer. Comparing XAS changes at both L3 and L2 absorption edges below and above EF highlights the role played by the 3d5/2 states. Using X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD), we further discuss the spin and orbital moment dynamics with respect to the energy resolved charge dynamics.
