Molecular interferometer using XUV attosecond pulses to unravel electron and nuclear dynamics

Two identical XUV attosecond pulses interact with the hydrogen molecule creating an interferometer resulting from the direct and sequential two-photon absorption paths reaching the same final ionized states. The dependence of the ionization yields with the time delay between the pulses allows to rec...

Sumario:Two identical XUV attosecond pulses interact with the hydrogen molecule creating an interferometer resulting from the direct and sequential two-photon absorption paths reaching the same final ionized states. The dependence of the ionization yields with the time delay between the pulses allows to reconstruct the pumped vibronic (electronic and vibrational) wave packet created in the singly excited states of the molecule. The use of XUV pulses avoids a laser-induced distortion of the molecular potential, ensuring the characterization of the intrinsic behaviour of the system
