We have resonantly excited 2p3/2 core electrons from HCl molecules to the antibonding σ* orbital using femtosecond soft-x-ray pulses from the free-electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH). After the excitation the molecules dissociate and the electronic excitation relaxes via the emission of an Auger-electron. Both processes compete on similar ultrashort femtosecond time scales. In order to follow the evolution of this coupled electronic and nuclear dynamics, we equipped x-ray electron spectroscopy with time resolution.
In our experiment the exciting soft-x-ray pulses were collinearly superimposed with intense THz pulses from the FLASH THz undulator. Electrons emitted from the molecules are accelerated (streaked) by the THz electric field whereby the resulting momentum change depends on the THz phase at the instant of ionization.The experimental setup and first experimental results will be presented.
