Description

The group is active since 1988.
Research is focused on the demonstration, understanding and applications of new phenomena induced during the coherent and/or strong field interaction of laser radiation with atomic and molecular systems. During the last 12 years, emphasis is put on the physics of the generation and characterization of intense XUV attosecond radiation pulses, exploited in the study of non-linear phenomena in the XUV spectral region, including XUV-induced-XUV-probe dynamics at the boundary between femto- and atto-second scale.
The group is participating in several competitive European research programs, in some of which it is playing a world-leading role and has established a great number of effective international collaborations.
