X-ray free electron lasers provide brilliant light with sufficient intensity to strongly drive and probe nonlinear X-ray-matter interactions. Here, spectroscopy of Co/Pd multilayers reveals a nearly one-million-fold enhancement of stimulated resonant inelastic X-ray scattering versus conventional, spontaneous scattering.
