Molecular nitrogen (N2) has been investigated in an extreme-ultraviolet (XUV)–infrared (IR) pump–probe experiment using attosecond pulse trains with photon energies between 20 eV and 40 eV to ionize N2 into several binding and anti-binding electronic states. An additional, time delayed 15 fs IR pulse with a center-wavelength of 780 eV is used to modify and probe these states.
The three dimensional momenta of coincident photo-electrons and ions N2+ and N+ are detected over the full solid angle using a Reaction Microscope. This allows to study electron-ion energy-correlations and molecular frame photo-electron angular distributions for dissociative channels and thereby identify the involved N2+ states by energy and symmetry. Of particular interest is the ionization into vibrational levels of the bound C2Σ+u state that for k≥3 dissociate into N+ + N via predissociation which has been studied in synchrotron experiments for many years (compare [1] and references therein). In our experiment the energies of these vibrational states have been measured.
