This study investigates time-resolved autoionization using attosecond pulses at the intersection of theoretical and experimental physics. The research focuses on the time-resolved electron wave packet dynamics during the electronic motion scale, which lasts approximately 100 as. By implementing pump-probe experiments, we analyze the momentum shift and electron correlations in the Auger decay process. The work furthers understanding of coherent excitations and Fano resonances, contributing to precision in quantum state manipulation. Insights gained here pave the way for advancements in ultra-fast spectroscopy.
