Probing Nonadiabatic Dynamics with Attosecond Pulse Trains and soft X-ray Raman Spectroscopy — •Lorenzo Restaino, Deependra Jadoun, and Markus Kowalewski — Department of Physics, Stockholm University, Albanova University Centre, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden

Ultrafast electronic coherences, generated by a photoexcited wave packet passing through a conical intersection, can be detected by linear off-resonant X-ray Raman probes. A hybrid femtosecond or attosecond probe pulse can be employed to generate a Raman spectrum that maps the energy difference between the involved electronic states. We investigate how attosecond pulse trains perform as probe pulses in the framework of this spectroscopic technique, instead of single Gaussian pulses. We explore different schemes for the probe pulse, as well as the impact of parameters of the pulse trains on the signals. We use two different model systems, representing molecules of different symmetry, and quantum dynamics simulations to study the difference in the spectra. The results suggest that such pulse trains are well suited to capture the key features associated with the electronic coherence.
