We studied the dissociative photo-ionization of H2 induced by XUV radiation. The use of a reaction microscope enables us to perform kinematically complete coincidence measurements. In an ion–electron-correlation measurement we observed an asymmetric dissociation in the molecular frame, similar to the asymmetry observed by [1], caused by path interference of two different dissociation channels. The first channel includes the H2+(A 2Σu) state and the second the H2+(X 2Σg) state and the doubly excited H2(Q1 1Σu) states. A semi-classical simulation, using phase integrals, reproduces the observed asymmetry.
