JC/DM: Sebastian: Enhancing the limits of high harmonic generation

I will give a general overview about the three experiments running at the Red Dragon Lab, which are trying to enhance the limits of HHG. These experiments are: HGG towards the water window by using NIR driving fields combined with high pressure gas targets, the effective generation of VUV using a length tunable gas cell and in a later stage multi-color light fields and the HHG in a liquid jet.

Ghazal Jabbari: ICD after resonant excitation

Ghazal Jabbari is a visitor from Heidelberg University who will talk about ICD, and specifically, ICD after resonant excitation, and where ICD can be important, or even compete with other processes, such as photodissociation (the system: water-chloride cluster). At the end she will talk a bit about Multiple excitations, and ICD process after them (mostly in rare gas dimers).

Dane: JC/DM: benzene HHG spectroscopy / HHG in aromatic systems

I will discuss progress in understanding our benzene HHG spectroscopy results, as well as some recent results from Ravi Bhardwaj's group on the similar topic of HHG in aromatic systems:
