چکیده
We report a new method for determining the energy resolution of time-of-flight spectrometers for detecting photoelectrons produced with attosecond XUV pulses. By measuring the width of the 2s2p autoionization line of helium, we found the resolution of our spectrometer to be approximately 0.6 eV for electrons at 35.5 eV. Furthermore, the resolution in the 10 to 35 eV range was determined by applying a retarding potential at the entrance of the drift tube.

High resolution electron spectrometers for characterizing the contrast of isolated 25 as pulses
We quantify the effects of the energy resolution of a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer in an attosecond streak camera on the accuracy of measuring the relative amplitudes of satellite pulses around the main attosecond pulse. Our numerical simulations show that the spectral resolution can be significantly improved by restricting the acceptance angle using a pinhole located near the source o...
متن کاملAttosecond Hard X-Ray Scattering Spectroscopy
Synopsis We formulate an analytic, semi-relativistic theory of laser-assisted attosecond Compton scattering by a weakly bound electron. We (i) present the evidence of the feasibility of measuring the ground-state electron momentum density in the attosecond regime and (ii) investigate the attosecond Compton streak camera and spectral phase interferometry proposing two new methods of measuring th...
متن کاملPhotoelectron spectrometer for attosecond spectroscopy of liquids and gases.
A new apparatus for attosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of liquids and gases is described. It combines a liquid microjet source with a magnetic-bottle photoelectron spectrometer and an actively stabilized attosecond beamline. The photoelectron spectrometer permits venting and pumping of the interaction chamber without affecting the low pressure in the flight tube. This pressure ...
متن کاملThe streak camera development program at LLE
The Diagnostic Development Group at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics has endeavored to build a stand-alone, remotely operated streak camera with comprehensive autofocus and self-calibration capability. Designated as the Rochester Optical Streak System (ROSS), it is a generic streak camera platform, capable of accepting a variety of streak tubes. The system performance is limited by the insta...
متن کاملUnified ab initio treatment of attosecond photoionization and Compton scattering
We present a new theoretical approach to attosecond laser-assisted photoand Compton ionization. Attosecond x-ray absorption and scattering are described by Ŝ (1,2)-matrices, which are coherent superpositions of ‘monochromatic’ Ŝ(1,2)-matrices in a laser-modified Furry representation. Besides refining the existing theory of the soft x-ray photoelectron attosecond streak camera and spectral phase...
