Femtosecond laser pulses have proven to provide valuable insight into the dynamics of microscopic systems by using pump-probe techniques. Applied to atomic clusters even a single pulse of varying pulse duration can reveal how and when energy from the laser pulse is transferred effectively to the cluster. We review the main experimental observables for energy transfer to a cluster and the major theoretical approaches which have been devised. Most importantly, we compare the cluster response to standard 780 nm light pulses with the response to 100 nm pulses, already obtained at a VUV free electron laser (FEL) source, and with 3 nm light which will be available from x-ray FEL sources.
