Abstract
Core excitons in solids have garnered increasing interest, yet their behavior and decay mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we use attosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) transient absorption spectroscopy, performed with a broadband 25--45-eV sub-fs XUV pump pulse and a 500--1000-nm sub-5-fs near-infrared (NIR) supercontinuum probe pulse to monitor the excitation, dynamics, and decay of core excitons in $\mathrm{Ca}{\mathrm{F}}_{2}$ at the ${\mathrm{Ca}}^{2+}$ ${M}_{2,3}$ edge. The XUV pulses are used to excite core excitons in $\mathrm{Ca}{\mathrm{F}}_{2}$ based around the ${\mathrm{Ca}}^{2+}$ and the polarization of the medium is subsequently perturbed by the time-delayed NIR pulses to measure the spectral changes and decays. A number of features are identified in the transient absorption spectrum, which suggest transfer between excitonic states, Stark shifts, and the emergence of light-induced states. We find that various core excitons identified exhibit coherence lifetimes spanning 3--7 fs. Furthermore, a NIR-intensity-dependent analysis finds a negative correlation with the coherence lifetime of various identified excitonic features, supporting a phonon-mediated mechanism as responsible for the core-exciton decoherence. We present a computational band structure projection analysis strategy to estimate the orbital structure of the core excitons and determine which core-excitonic transitions should be allowed by selection rules with the probe beam. This strategy is found to successfully describe the observed spectroscopic data. The outlined joint spectroscopic and computational investigation of core excitons is a powerful technique that explains the complex behavior of core excitons in solid-state materials.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
