The measurement of laser-induced dynamics in few-electron systems provides a way to investigate the correlated response of multiple electrons in atoms and molecules when driven by strong and short electric fields. Using a lab-based high-harmonic source we have formerly studied such dynamics via their imprint on the XUV absorption line shape in response to strong fields in the near infrared and visible spectral region. [C. Ott et al., Science 340, 716 (2013)].
Here we present an extension of this scheme to the XUV-only spectral region, using intense and partially coherent light of a Free-Electron Laser (FEL, FLASH@DESY) to investigate the line shape modifications across the 2s2p autoionizing resonance in Helium. The XUV-pulse intensity is in the range from 1012 Wcm-2 to 1014 Wcm-2. These first results are supported by a few-level simulation for which the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is solved numerically, addressing also the statistical SASE-FEL pulse-structure. Furthermore a first view into the strong-field behavior of the multi-electron system Neon is given.
