Studying photoionization dynamics and characterising the time delays associated with the photoemission of an electron wave packet can unveil important characteristics of coupled electronic-nuclear dynamics in molecular systems. Attosecond photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with electron-ion coincidence detection is beneficial since this allows disentangling the different photoionization and dissociation channels. Additionally, it may give access to the orientation of the molecule at the instant of photoionization. Using our experimental setup that consists of an attosecond beamline, based on high-order harmonic generation operating at 50 kHz repetition rate, we investigate the photoionization dynamics in ethylene molecules by performing RABBIT (Reconstruction of Attosecond Beating By Interference of Two-photon transitions) measurements while detecting photoelectrons and photoions in coincidence. The experimental results are interpreted with the help of multi-electron R-matrix calculations of two-photon ionization.
