Interatomic Coulombic Decay (ICD) is a radiationless decay mechanism in weakly bound systems, where an excited atom relaxes via an energy transfer to a van-der-Waals–bound neighbour, which then emits an electron. The process has been theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed in clusters and molecules. The lifetime of ICD is a crucial parameter for understanding the underlying mechanism. Here, we present the first direct time-resolved measurement of an ICD lifetime, applying an XUV pump-probe scheme to the neon dimer Ne2. A 58 eV pump pulse of approximately 60 fs length creates a 2s hole, initiating the decay process, which is probed after an adjustable time delay by an exact copy of the first pulse. Whether or not ICD has happened by the time the probe pulse impinges, leads to the population of different energy levels. The resulting fragmentation channels are separated by means of a Reaction Microscope.
