32. As αS (ωL) is symmetric, there are no rank one contributions.
33. The time-evolution operator is not given by the usual exponential form due to the time dependence of the interaction with the laser and the x rays.

37. The complex conjugation of i i′ ′ in the Hermitian scalar product in Eq. 32 prevents that i i′ ′ is actually complex conjugated. This is necessary for the scalar product of the vectors to reproduce the matrix element between the direct product states 31 and the direct product of operators X,M in Eq. 29.
38. Note that we define the cross correlation for t-τ instead of t+τ as is common in mathematics. According to our definition, a positive (negative) τ implies that the x-ray pulse maximum comes later (earlier) than the laser pulse maximum.
39. The orbital plots of Br2 were produced by the MOLDEN program based on a computation with the Hartree-Fock module of DALTON using the cc-pVDZ basis set.
