Abstract

Using few-cycle-driven coherent laser harmonic radiation, K-shell vacancies have been created in light elements (boron and carbon) on a time scale of a few femtoseconds for the first time. Our experiments constitute the first application of a coherent laboratory source of water-window radiation.
