Abstract
With intensities 108–1010 times greater than other laboratory sources, X-ray free-electron lasers are currently opening up new frontiers across many areas of science. In this Review we describe how these unconventional lasers work, discuss the range of new sources being developed worldwide, and consider how such X-ray sources may develop over the coming years.

Few-femtosecond time-resolved measurements of X-ray free-electron lasers

TL;DR: Time-resolved measurements of X-ray free-electron lasers are reported by using an X-band radiofrequency transverse deflector at the Linac Coherent Light Source to demonstrate this method to be a simple, non-invasive technique with a large dynamic range for single-shot electron andX-ray temporal characterization.

Studies of multiphoton production of vacuum-ultraviolet radiation in the rare gases

TL;DR: In this article, electron correlations in a direct nonlinear process of inner-shell excitation were found to be important in multielectron processes, leading to evidence for a role of electron correlation in the nonlinear processes of inner shell excitation.
