 The study investigates the ionization dynamics of helium droplets irradiated by intense XUV pulses using photoelectron spectroscopy. It reveals a complex evolution of electron spectra with varying droplets size and XUV intensity, ranging from atomic-like peaks to a nanoplasma feature. The results are analyzed through numerical simulation based on rate equations that consider all relevant processes. This article was offered by Y. Opturenko, A. C. Laforge, B. Langben, and others.
