The authors' main claim Here we show that the population of E$_{2g}$ phonons in the multiband superconductor MgB$_2$ can be selectively enhanced by femtosecond laser pulses, leading to a transient control of the number of carriers in the {\sigma}-electronic subsystem.

The abstract, sentence by sentence
In systems having an anisotropic electronic structure, such as the layered materials graphite, graphene and cuprates, impulsive light excitation can coherently stimulate specific bosonic modes, with exotic consequences for the emergent electronic properties. Here we show that the population of E$_{2g}$ phonons in the multiband superconductor MgB$_2$ can be selectively enhanced by femtosecond laser pulses, leading to a transient control of the number of carriers in the {\sigma}-electronic subsystem. The nonequilibrium evolution of the material optical constants is followed in the spectral region sensitive to both the a- and c-axis plasma frequencies and modeled theoretically, revealing the details of the $\sigma$-$\pi$ interband scattering mechanism in MgB$_2$.

To study the response of the two-band Mott insulator relevant to pump-probe experiments [ref] , we use a simplified driving to produce particle-hole transitions across the Mott gap (process I in Fig. [ref]).
