Hamburg Photon Science Colloquium | Attosecond light pulses for studying ultrafast electron dynamics

by Anne L'Huillier (Nobel Prize Laureate / Lund University, Sweden)

Friday 12 Jan 2024, 14:00 → 15:30 Europe/Berlin

DESY AUDITORIUM BUILDING 5

When an intense laser interacts with a gas of atoms, high-order harmonics are generated. In the time domain, a train of attosecond pulses is formed, allowing for outstanding temporal resolution. This presentation will give an historical background to the field of attosecond science, from the first discovery to today‘s applications.

Anne L'Huillier was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz in 2023 “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”.

Location: Notkestraße 85, building 5 (DESY), auditorium (!!!)

Coffee, tea and cake will be served at 1:30 pm
