In this talk, we focus on the dynamics of rare gas clusters exposed to ultrashort X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) pulses of intermediate x-ray fluence. In this fluence regime the system is only partially ionized. Therefore, chemical properties of the sample may still play an important role in shaping the ionization dynamics beside the emerging Coulomb forces. As a result, complex fragmentation of the cluster can occur. We show signatures of chemical effects in spectroscopy observables, and present our theoretical simulations, unraveling the time evolution of irradiated Ar clusters in detail [1].This study addresses a regime that is a very common scenario at current XFEL experiments.
