This contribution will focus on photo-induced dynamics of rubidium (Rb) atoms attached to the surface of quantumfluid helium nanodroplets. A femtosecond (fs) pump-probe sequence is initiated by resonant excitation to droplet perturbed states correlating to the Rb 6p and 5p atomic orbitals. Subsequently, a fs probe pulse ionises the Rb atom and velocity map ion and electron images are recorded. Depending on excitation wavelength and pump-probe delay, dynamics involving either desorption or submersion as well as formation of Rb⁺He_n=1,2 complexes are observed. The experimental results will be discussed and compared to simulations based on time dependent density functional theory.
