The ultrafast dissociation of vinyl bromide after strong-field excitation is characterized experimentally and theoretically. After a multiphoton excitation of the π π^* transition, the relaxation process is illuminated via Attosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy (ATAS) using the bromine M-edge. This method allows to monitor the evolution of the nuclear wave packet during the dissociation of bromine within 100 fs.

Using non-adiabatic molecular dynamics in combination with high-level multi-reference methods we are able to simulate the corresponding time-dependent transient absorption spectrum of vinyl bromide. The simulated spectrum shows a good agreement with the experimental ATAS trace in the relevant energy range.

This joint experimental and theoretical work provides insight into the nuclear dynamics of dissociating vinyl bromide.
