A pump-probe experiment on the ultrafast photofragmentation of molecular iodine using an ultra-short XUV pulse at ≈ 14 nm delivered by the free-electron-laser facility FLASH and a femtosecond IR laser pulse at ≈ 800 nm was performed.
In order to trace the molecular dynamics as a function of the internuclear distance, the delay between XUV- and IR-pulse is varied. With a preceding IR-pulse the I2 molecule is dissociated and further ionized via the absorption of multiple XUV photons. We observe charge states up to I215+ due to FEL-created 4d core holes followed by Auger cascades.
All reaction channels resulting in charged fragments can be followed by recoil ion momentum spectroscopy using a reaction microscope.
