Lise Meitner Distinguished Lecture:

"Attosecond pulses for capturing electron dynamics"

Prof. Anne L'Huillier

(Lund University)

Abstract:

Since the beginning of the millennium, physicists know how to generate pulses

of light of attosecond duration (1 as= 10-18 s), thus gaining access to this incredibly

short time scale.

This presentation will describe how attosecond pulses are generated when intense

laser pulses interact with atomic gases, and what are their characteristics.

We will then show how these pulses can be used to investigate fast electron dynamics

in atomic photoionization.

About the Speaker:

Anne L'Huillier is Professor of Physics at Lund University and winner of the

2023 Nobel Prize in Physics.
