Abstract

We use the time-dependent hypersperhical close-coupling method to study the double excitation of helium atoms by intense ultrashort XUV pulses. In addition to showing the photoelectron yield spectra, we demonstrate that free electron lasers can be used to efficiently create doubly excited electron wave packets, opening up the possibility of visualizing the correlated motion of electrons in atoms.
