Single Photon Coulomb Explosion of Methanol using ultrafast HHG pulses
Daniel Strasser
Abstract
I will present a new method for time resolved probing of small molecular systems 3D coincidence imaging allows disentangling rare Coulomb explosion events following double ionization by a single EUV photon from an ultrafast HHG pulse Kinetic energy release and angularly resolved spectra are presented for several Coulomb explosion channels including a proton migration channel producing correlated CH2 H2O cations The measured kinetic energy release spectra are discussed in terms of the molecular structure and compared to ab initio calculations
