Rescattering-enhanced dissociation of a molecular ion

Dissociation of the CO{sub 2}{sup +} ion has been investigated in an intense ultrafast (55 fs) laser field by employing an intensity-selective scan technique and comparing the signals from linearly and circularly polarized pulses. Nonsequential contributions have been observed, highlighting the role...

Description
Summary:Dissociation of the CO{sub 2}{sup +} ion has been investigated in an intense ultrafast (55 fs) laser field by employing an intensity-selective scan technique and comparing the signals from linearly and circularly polarized pulses. Nonsequential contributions have been observed, highlighting the role of rescattering in the dissociative process.
