Ultrafast electron dynamics studied by THz-streaking
Jun. Prof. Dr. Ulrike Frühling (Universität Hamburg, Institut für Experimentalphysik und CUI)

To study the ultrafast dynamics in many highly excited systems such as e.g. the relaxation of molecules after excitation with an XUV photon, measurements in the time domain are essential. For this we employ the THz streaking technique where system under study is excited using femtosecond XUV pulses and the temporal profiles of emitted electron wave-packets are probed by THz light fields. In the talk the THz streaking technique will be introduced and experimental results on fs pulse metrology and electron correlations will be discussed and an outlook on future experiments will be given.
