  abstract     = {{The timescale for electron motion in molecular systems is on the order of hundreds of attoseconds, and thus the time-resolved study of electronic dynamics requires a source of sub-femtosecond x-ray pulses. Here we report the experimental generation of sub-femtosecond duration soft x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) pulses with hundreds of microjoules of energy using fresh-slice amplification in two cascaded stages at the Linac Coherent Light Source. In the first stage, an enhanced self-amplified spontaneous emission (ESASE) pulse is generated using laser-shaping of the electron beam at the photocathode*. The electron bunch is then delayed relative to the pulse by a magnetic chicane, allowing the radiation to slip onto a fresh slice of the bunch, which amplifies the ESASE pulse in the second cascade stage. Angular streaking** characterizes the experimental pulse durations as sub-femtosecond at ~465 eV in the experiment.}},
