XUV Physics


Group leader: Prof.dr. Marc Vrakking

Our group studies how intense, shaped, femtosecond laser pulses can be
used to control the properties of atoms, molecules and clusters. Our main
focus is on time-resolved electron dynamics in atomic and molecular physics
using recently developed attosecond laser pulses based on highharmonic
generation.
