The results show a complete breakdown of the two-level approximation, and suggest that under typical experimental conditions levels other than the resonant level are significantly populated. We discuss the implications for the subsequent development of superfluorescence (a collective effect) from the excited atomic medium, and compare the results to recent experiments.}, pages = {063416-1--063416-9}, title = {Single-atom response of helium atoms to pulses from an EUV free-electron laser - implications for the subsequent development of superfluorescence}, volume = {94}, year = {2017} }
