Introduction:

Professor Michael Meyer is working in Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Germany. Since 2010, he has been the leading scientist at the European XFEL in Germany responsible for the Small Quantum Systems (SQS) scientific instrument. Before, long-term stay as senior scientist in France. Numerous experiments at synchrotron radiation and Free-Electron Laser facilities. Main research interests are time-resolved experiments and non-linear studies on atoms and molecules. He has published more than 170 academic papers in internationally renowned journals such as Nature, Nature physics, Physical Review Letters, and has been invited to report more than 60 times at international conferences.

Abstract:

X-ray pulses generated by Free-Electron Lasers, like the European XFEL are characterized by high intensities (several mJ) and short durations (few femtoseconds). These parameters provide ideal conditions to investigate non-linear phenomena and to perform time-resolved studies of photo-induced dynamics in atoms and molecules. In the talk, typical results from this new type experiments performed in the soft X-ray wavelength regime at the Small Quantum Systems (SQS) instrument will be discussed.
