The reason for this is: The multi-photon absorption of the IR field grows with the increase of the laser intensity.

It can occur due to: High photoelectron momentum p (high x-ray frequency). Broad wave packet (IR field). Enhancement of the recoil effect experienced by molecule due to ejection of photoelectron Recoil energy increases internal kinetic energy of molecule in core ionized state. But core ionization takes maximum in turning point where kinetic energy is equal to zero This happens only if the transition is not vertical and it is shifted by: E rec Δr Fc F0 E rec p2 mB cos 2θ 2(m A m B ) m A Recoil shifts XPS band: E rec Δω Fc Δr 1 F0 /Fc Shift is large when gradients approach each other Relative difference between the gradients of the core ionized and ground state potentials versus internuclear distance CO molecule Left turning point Right turning point Oxygen K XPS spectrum of CO driven by strong IR pulse I L 2.3 1014 W/cm 2 IL 0 Conclusions •We have studied X-ray pump-probe spectra with coherent and incoherent pump radiation as well as with CW and pulsed light sources. •Phase of coherent pump radiation is transferred to nuclear or electronic wave packet. This makes trajectory of the wave packet and X-ray pump-probe spectra sensitive to the phase of the pump field. •The phase sensitivity of the IR + X-ray pump-probe spectra depends strongly on the duration of the X-ray pulse, delay time, shape of IR pulse, molecular orientation. •X-ray pump-probe spectroscopy is a proper tool to study the dynamics of proton transfer in liquids . •Revival effect allows to study dynamics of different relaxation processes in liquids and to measure hyperfine structure like anharmonicity.
