Аннотация:The nature of transient electronic states created by photoabsorption critically determines the dynamics ofthe subsequently evolving system. Here, we investigate K-shell photoionized atomic neon by absorbing asecond photon within the Auger-decay lifetime of 2.4 fs using the European XFEL, a unique highrepetition-rate, wavelength-tunable x-ray free-electron laser. By high-resolution electron spectroscopy, wemap out the transient Rydberg resonances unraveling the details of the subsequent decay of the hollowatom. So far, ultra-short-lived electronic transients, which are often inaccessible by experiments, weremainly inferred from theory but are now addressed by nonlinear x-ray absorption. The successfulcharacterization of these resonances with femtosecond lifetimes provides the basis for a novel class of sitespecific,nonlinear, and time-resolved studies with strong impact for a wide range of topics in physics andchemistry.
