We have studied the interplay of intense coherent XUV pulses from the free-electron laser FLASH in Hamburg with single xenon clusters. They serve as ideal model systems for light matter interaction as they are easy to produce, size scalable, free flying particles that often have spherical symmetry. The used photon energies close to 90 eV are resonant to transitions in xenon atoms and ions; consequently a nanoplasma is formed with an altered scattering response and the emission of fluorescence light. Both the elastically scattered and fluorescence photons are detected using a single-photon sensitive large area detector (pnCCDs) with high dynamic range. Different detector coatings allow for identification of the fluorescence signal. Via Mie simulations, optical properties and thus information about the electronic structure of the clusters can be extracted.
