    Wave packet interferometry with vacuum ultraviolet light has been used to probe a complex region of the electronic spectrum of molecular nitrogen, N2. Wave packets of Rydberg and valence states were excited by using double pulses of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV), free-electron-laser (FEL) light. These wave packets were composed of contributions from multiple electronic states with a moderate principal quantum number (n ∼ 4–9) and a range of vibrational and rotational quantum numbers. The phase relationship of the two FEL pulses varied in time, but as demonstrated previously, a shot-by-shot analysis allows the spectra to be sorted according to the phase between the two pulses. The wave packets were probed by angle-resolved photoionization using an infrared pulse with a variable delay after the pair of excitation pulses. The photoelectron branching fractions and angular distributions display oscillations that depend on both the time delays and the relative phases of the VUV pulses. The combination of frequency, time delay, and phase selection provides significant control over the ionization process and ultimately improves the ability to analyze and assign complex molecular spectra.

    Upon photoexcitation, molecules break apart, following different dissociation reactions. We can image these dissociation pathways using Coulomb explosion imaging (CEI) and sometimes we can control them using asymmetric laser fields. In the formaldehyde molecule, we can see fragments following the direct, conventional dissociation path, as well as fragments deviating from this minimum energy path. So-called roaming fragments or “roamers” explore the potential energy landscape in a statistical manner and could be directly captured in real-time, despite the signal’s statistical character. This is possible due to the single-molecule sensitivity of CEI and we could show that the onset of roaming occurs actually several orders of magnitude earlier than previously expected. In the polar molecule OCS we go one step further by controlling the fragmentation process using two-color asymmetric laser fields. In addition to expected direct ionization effects, we also see post-ionization contributions, which are usually not visible in heavy polar molecules. We thus show in two different examples that CEI provides the means to extract new, unexpected pathways, which would otherwise remain hidden underneath a strong background.

    Upon photo-excitation of a molecule it will break apart. We can see fragments following direct, conventional dissociation paths, as well as fragments deviating from this minimum energy path. The latter are called roaming fragments and explore the potential energy landscape in a statistical manner. Dissociating and roaming fragments are directly captured using Coulomb explosion imaging (CEI) and individual pathways are distinguished based on state-of-the-art theory analysis.

The degree of the asymmetry varies by the relative phase of the <jats:italic>ω</jats:italic> and 2<jats:italic>ω</jats:italic> laser fields, showing that 1) the breaking of the four equivalent C-F bonds can be manipulated by the laser pulse shape and 2) the C-F bond directed along the larger amplitude side of the <jats:italic>ω</jats:italic>-2<jats:italic>ω</jats:italic> electric fields tends to be broken. Weak-field asymptotic theory (WFAT) shows that the tunneling ionization from the 4<jats:italic>t</jats:italic><jats:sub>2</jats:sub> second highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO-1) surpasses that from the 1<jats:italic>t</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub> HOMO. This predicts the enhancement of the tunneling ionization with electric fields pointing from F to C, in the direction opposite to that observed for the asymmetric fragment ejection. Possible mechanisms involved in the asymmetric dissociative ionization, such as post-ionization interactions, are discussed.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>We have investigated the dissociation mechanisms of the prototypical heavy polar molecule OCS into the two break-up channels of the dication, OCS<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> → O<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> + CS<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> and OC<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> + S<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>, in phase-locked two-color intense laser fields. The branching ratio of the breaking of the C–O and C–S bonds followed a pronounced 2<jats:italic>π</jats:italic>-oscillation with a modulation depth of 11%, depending on the relative phase of the two-color laser fields. The fragment ejection direction of both break-up channels reflects the anisotropy of the tunneling ionization rate, following a 2<jats:italic>π</jats:italic>-periodicity, as well. The two dissociation pathways in the C–S bond breaking channel show different phase dependencies of the fragment ejection direction, which are assigned to post-ionization dynamics. These observations, resulting from the excitation with asymmetric two-color intense laser fields, supported by state-of-the-art theoretical simulations, reveal the importance of post-ionization population dynamics in addition to tunneling ionization in the molecular fragmentation processes, even for heavy polar molecules.</jats:p>

    We have used the FERMI free-electron laser to perform time-resolved photoelectron imaging experiments on a complex group of resonances near 15.38 eV in the absorption spectrum of molecular nitrogen, N , under jet-cooled conditions. The new data complement and extend the earlier work of Fushitani et al. [Opt. Express 27, 19702-19711 (2019)], who recorded time-resolved photoelectron spectra for this same group of resonances. Time-dependent oscillations are observed in both the photoelectron yields and the photoelectron angular distributions, providing insight into the interactions among the resonant intermediate states. In addition, for most states, we observe an exponential decay of the photoelectron yield that depends on the ionic final state. This observation can be rationalized by the different lifetimes for the intermediate states contributing to a particular ionization channel. Although there are nine resonances within the group, we show that by detecting individual photoelectron final states and their angular dependence, we can identify and differentiate quantum pathways within this complex system. 2

Different pathways are distinguished from each other, despite their statistical nature. To extract such dynamics, hidden in a statistical background, calls for an elimination of noise. In our approach, we take advantage of CEI being a quasi-background-free technique.

    <jats:p>Since the discovery of roaming as an alternative molecular dissociation pathway in formaldehyde (H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>CO), it has been indirectly observed in numerous molecules. The phenomenon describes a frustrated dissociation with fragments roaming at relatively large interatomic distances rather than following conventional transition-state dissociation; incipient radicals from the parent molecule self-react to form molecular products. Roaming has been identified spectroscopically through static product channel–resolved measurements, but not in real-time observations of the roaming fragment itself. Using time-resolved Coulomb explosion imaging (CEI), we directly imaged individual “roamers” on ultrafast time scales in the prototypical formaldehyde dissociation reaction. Using high-level first-principles simulations of all critical experimental steps, distinctive roaming signatures were identified. These were rendered observable by extracting rare stochastic events out of an overwhelming background using the highly sensitive CEI method.</jats:p>

    Molecules irradiated with intense laser pulses (field intensity similar to 10(15) W/cm(2)) exhibit a variety of characteristic processes, such as tunneling ionization, electron rescattering, high-order harmonics generation and Coulomb explosion, that cannot be seen in a weak light field. These features have attracted attention in the last decades as they provide unique approaches to visualize and manipulate ultrafast dynamics of atoms and molecules. Here we discuss molecular processes in intense laser fields, with focuses on the applications to ultrafast imaging and control of reaction dynamics.

    The pulse duration of soft X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) pulses of SACLA BL1 (0.2-0.3 nC per bunch, 0.5-0.8 MeV) were characterized by photoelectron sideband measurements. The intensity of the He 1 s(-1) photoelectron sidebands generated by a near-infrared femtosecond laser was measured as a function of the time delay between the two pulses using an arrival time monitor. From the width of the cross-correlation trace thus derived, the FEL pulse duration was evaluated to be 28 +/- 5 fs full width at half-maximum in the photon energy range between 40 eV and 120 eV.

    © 2019 American Physical Society. Dissociative tunneling ionization of nitric oxide (NO) in linearly polarized phase-locked two-color femtosecond intense laser fields (45 fs, λ=800 and 400 nm, total field intensity I=1×1014W/cm2) has been studied by three-dimensional ion momentum imaging. The N+ fragment produced by the dissociative ionization, NO→NO++e-→N++O+e-, exhibits a butterflylike momentum distribution peaked at finite angles with respect to the laser polarization direction. In addition, a clear dependence on the relative phase between the two laser fields is observed, showing that the tunneling ionization occurs efficiently when the electric field points from N to O. For the highest kinetic energy component, the observed orientation dependence is well explained with theoretical calculations by the weak-field asymptotic theory for the 2πhighest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). On the other hand, the peak angle shifts toward the laser polarization direction as the kinetic energy decreases, indicating that pathways other than direct ionization from the HOMO contribute to the dissociative ionization.

    Ion-coincidence momentum imaging of Coulomb explosion of formaldehyde (H2CO) in femtosecond intense laser fields (800 nm, 1.3 x 10(15) W/cm(2)) is performed with two different laser pulse durations (7 fs and 35 fs). In the 7-fs laser fields, the full fragmentation pathway from H2CO4+ -> H+ + H+ + C+ + O+ is identified. The angles between the fragment momenta are well reproduced by a simple Coulomb explosion model from the geometry of neutral formaldehyde, showing that the molecular structure is virtually frozen along the bending coordinates during the multiple ionization. Three-body Coulomb explosion pathways from triply charged states, H2CO3+ -> H+ + H+ + C+ + O+, are observed in both the 7-fs and 35-fs laser fields. Significant changes in the momentum angle distribution and asymmetric energy partitioning between two H+ ions are observed in the 35-fs case, which are attributed to structural deformation prior to the Coulomb explosion in the longer pulse.

    Selective bond breaking of CO2 in phase-locked omega-2 omega two-color intense laser fields (lambda = 800 nm and 400 nm, total field intensity l similar to 10(14) W cm(-2)) has been investigated by coincidence momentum imaging. The CO+ and O+ fragment ions produced by two-body Coulomb explosion, CO22+ -&gt; CO+ + O+, exhibit asymmetric distributions along the laser polarization direction, showing that one of the two equivalent C-O bonds is selectively broken by the laser fields. At a field intensity higher than 2 x 10(14) W cm(-2), the largest fragment asymmetry is observed when the relative phase phi between the omega and 2 omega laser fields is similar to 0 and pi. On the other hand, an increase of the asymmetry and a shift of the phase providing the largest asymmetry are observed at lower field intensities. The selective bond breaking and its dependence on the laser field intensity are discussed in terms of a mechanism involving deformation of the potential energy surfaces and electron recollision in intense laser fields.

    Tunneling-ionization imaging of photoexcitation of NO has been demonstrated by using few-cycle near-infrared intense laser pulses (8 fs, 800 nm, 1.1 x 10(14) W/cm(2)). The ion image of N+ fragment ions produced by dissociative ionization of NO in the ground state, NO (X-2 Pi; 2 pi) -&gt; NO+ + e(-) -&gt; N+ + O + e(-), exhibits a characteristic momentum distribution peaked at 45 degrees with respect to the laser polarization direction. On the other hand, a broad distribution centered at similar to 0 degrees appears when the A(2)Sigma(+) (3s sigma) excited state is prepared as the initial state by deep-UV photoexcitation. The observed angular distributions are in good agreement with the corresponding theoretical tunneling ionization yields, showing that the fragment anisotropy reflects changes of the highest-occupied molecular orbital by photoexcitation.

    We theoretically investigate the laser-assisted photoionization of He by an extreme ultra violet (XUV) pulse in the presence of a linearly chirped intense laser pulse by solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation within the single-active-electron approximation. Analysis based on the time-dependent perturbation theory is also carried out to provide more physical insights. A new scheme is shown to be capable of extracting the arrival time of an XUV free-electron laser (FEL) pulse relative to an external laser pulse as well as the XUV pulse duration from the photoelectron sidebands resulting from XUV ionization in the presence of a chirped laser pulse. This scheme is independent of the energy fluctuation and the timing jittering of the FEL pulse. Therefore it can be implemented in a non-invasive way to characterize FEL pulses on a shot-by-shot basis in time-resolved spectroscopy.

The momentum images of the O+ and CO+ fragments show asymmetric distributions along the laser polarization direction depending on the relative phase of the two-color laser fields. The fragment asymmetry becomes most prominent (similar to 4%) at the relative phases providing the largest asymmetry of the electric field amplitude, with the O+ fragments preferentially ejected to the stronger field side. The mechanism of the asymmetric bond breaking of the two equivalent C-O bonds is discussed in terms of the nuclear dynamics in CO22+. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Coherent light-matter interaction provides powerful methods for manipulating quantum systems(1-3). Rabi oscillation is one such process. As it enables complete population transfer to a target state, it is thus routinely exploited in a variety of applications in photonics, notably quantum information processing(4,5). The extension of coherent control techniques to the multiphoton regime offers wider applicability, and access to highly excited or dipole-forbidden transition states. However, the multiphoton Rabi process is often disrupted by other competing nonlinear effects such as the a.c. Stark shift, especially at the high laser-field intensities necessary to achieve ultrafast Rabi oscillations(6). Here we demonstrate a new route to drive two-photon Rabi oscillations on timescales as short as tens of femtoseconds, by utilizing the strong-field phenomenon known as Freeman resonance(7). The scenario is not specific to atomic helium as investigated in the present study, but broadly applicable to other systems, thus opening new prospects for the ultrafast manipulation of Rydberg states(8).

    We theoretically investigate coherent dynamics of ions created through ultrafast multichannel photoionization from a viewpoint of photoelectron-photoion correlation. The model calculation on single-photon ionization of Ar reveals that the coherent hole dynamics in Ar+ associated with a superposition of the spin-orbit states P-2(J) (J = 3/2 and 1/2) can be identified by monitoring only the photoion created by a Fourier-transform limited extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pulse with the 9-fs pulse duration, while the coherence is lost by a chirped EUV pulse. It is demonstrated that by coincidence detection of the photoelectron and photoion the coherent hole dynamics can be extracted even in the case of ionization by a chirped EUV pulse with the sufficiently wide bandwidth.

    Three-body Coulomb explosion of formaldehyde (H2CO) in intense 7- and 35-fs laser fields (1.3 x 10(15) W/cm(2)) has been investigated by using ion-coincidence momentum imaging technique. Two types of explosion pathways from the triply charged state, H2CO3+ -&gt; (i) H+ + H+ + CO+ and (ii) H+ + CH+ + O+, have been identified. It is shown from the momentum correlation of the fragment ions of pathway (i), that the geometrical structure of the molecule is essentially frozen along the H-C-H bending coordinate for the 7-fs case. On the other hand, for a longer pulse duration (35 fs), structural deformation along the C-H stretching and H-C-H bending coordinates is identified, which is ascribed to the nuclear dynamics in the dication states populated within the laser pulse duration.

    A multiphoton ionization process of He in intense extreme ultraviolet free-electron laser fields is investigated in a photon energy range of hv = 20.1-20.8 eV using shot-by-shot photoelectron spectroscopy. A photoelectron peak resulting from sequential double ionization of He due to five-photon absorption is observed around hv = 20.4. Shot-by-shot analysis of photoelectron spectra shows that two-photon resonance to the He+(2s S-2) state from the He+ ground state is responsible for the substantial enhancement of five-photon double ionization. Effective cross sections for two-photon absorption between the 1s and 2s states of He+ and for one-photon absorption from the He+ 2s state are obtained.

It is shown that the coherent hole dynamics in Ar+ associated with a superposition of the spin-orbit states can be observed by using a Fourier-transform limited laser pulse for ionization, while the coherence is degraded or lost by chirped a laser pulse. We demonstrate that the coherent hole dynamics can be retrieved even in the case of ionization by a chirped laser pulse, by labeling the photoion dynamics with the counterpart photoelectron energy.

    Ion-coincidence momentum imaging of three-body Coulomb explosion of CS2, CS2z+ -> Sp+ + Cq+ + Sr+ (z = p + q + r), in few-cycle intense laser fields (9 fs, similar to 10(15) W/cm(2)) is presented. It is shown that the momentum distributions of fragment ions produced from CS210+ are well reproduced by a classical explosion model incorporating the coordinate and momentum distributions of the initial ground vibrational state of CS2. On the other hand, a significant deviation is observed for CS23+ due to the non-Coulombic character of the potential energy surfaces. Coulomb explosion imaging is applied to real-time probing of Coulomb exploding CS2 in highly charged states, using a pair of intense few-cycle laser pulses. It is shown that the explosion proceeds in a different time scale depending on the charge state, mostly along the linear geometry during the bond-breaking of the two C S bonds. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

    Single-shot photoelectron spectroscopy of nonresonant two-color two-photon ionization of He has been carried out using an intense free-electron laser (FEL) at 59.7 nm and a femtosecond UV laser at 268 nm. By shot-by-shot analysis of photoelectron spectra, the cross section for nonresonant two-color ionization of He is determined to be sigma((2)) = 4.1(6) x 10(-52) cm(4) s. The cross-correlation trace derived from the nonresonant signals shows that the temporal resolution of the system is 0.36(3) ps, which is mainly governed by the timing jitter between the FEL and UV laser pulses.

At SCSS, intense, ultrafast FEL pulses at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths have been utilized for investigating various multi-photon processes in atoms, molecules and clusters by means of ion and electron spectroscopy. The quantum optical effect superfluorescence has been observed with EUV excitation. A pump-probe technique combining FEL pulses with near infrared laser pulses has been realized to study the ultrafast dynamics of atoms, molecules and clusters in the sub-picosecond regime. At SACLA, deep inner-shell multi-photon ionization by intense x-ray FEL pulses has been investigated. The development of seeded FEL sources for producing transversely and temporally coherent light, as well as the expected impact on advanced science are discussed.

    Shot-by-shot photoelectron spectroscopy has been performed to study the three-photon double ionization of Ar in intense extreme-ultraviolet free-electron laser fields over a photon energy range of 19.6-22.0 eV. It is found that the double ionization to Ar2+ 3p(-2) proceeds sequentially via the formation of singly charged Ar+ 3p(-1) states and is enhanced around photon energies of 20.5 and 21.5 eV. Two types of resonance are identified in the two-photon ionization of the Ar+ 3p(-1) states: (i) resonances to intermediate states at the one-photon energy level and (ii) those to autoionizing states above the Ar2+ ionization threshold.

    We present a theoretical study for multiphoton double excitation of He atoms exposed to an intense ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) pulse, where the photon energy coincides with the transition energy from the ground state to a Rydberg state, by solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation in the hyperspherical coordinates. Photoelectron spectra under the conditions comparable with a recent experiment [Hishikawa et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 243003 (2011)] are calculated and analyzed. We identify the mechanism of the enhanced three-photon absorption probability which is more than one order of magnitude larger than that for the two-photon process in accordance with the experiment. The enhancement is attributed to a propensity rule for double excitation in a two-step mechanism, in which a one-photon absorption by one electron to a Rydberg state is followed by a two-photon absorption by the other electron to an excited orbital, while the first electron remains at nearly the same principle quantum number. Based on the time-dependent perturbation theory, the three-photon absorption probability exhibits peculiar cubic dependence on the pulse duration due to the propensity rule, in contrast to the linear dependence of the two-photon absorption probability. Thus a crossover between the two-and three-photon absorption probabilities takes place for sufficiently intense and long pulses. We also study the time evolution of a doubly excited two-electron wave packet created by an intense ultrashort EUV pulse efficiently using the same enhancement scheme, opening up the possibility of visualizing the correlated motion of two electrons in the time domain.

Resonances to the doubly excited states converging to the He(+) N = 3 level are revealed by the shot-by-shot photoelectron spectroscopy and identified by theoretical calculations based on the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for the two-electron atom under a laser field. It is shown that the three-photon double excitation is enhanced by intermediate Rydberg states below the first ionization threshold, giving a greater contribution to the photoionization yields than the two-photon process by more than 1 order of magnitude.

    A novel multi-electron-ion coincidence spectrometer developed on the basis of a 1.5 m-long magnetic-bottle electron spectrometer is presented. Electrons are guided by an inhomogeneous magnetic field to a detector at the end of the flight tube, while a set of optics is used to extract counterpart ions to the same detector, by a pulsed inhomogeneous electric field. This setup allows ion detection with high mass resolution, without impairing the high collection efficiency for electrons. The performance of the coincidence spectrometer was tested with double ionization of carbon disulfide, CS2 -> CS22+ + e(-) + e(-), in ultrashort intense laser fields (2.8 x 10(13) W/cm(2), 280 fs, 1030 nm) to clarify the electron correlation below the rescattering threshold.

Three distinct peaks identified in the observed photoelectron spectra clearly show that the double ionization proceeds sequentially via the formation of Ar(+): Ar + h nu -&gt; Ar(+) + e(-) and Ar(+) + 2h nu -&gt; Ar(2+) + e(-). Shot-by-shot recording of the photoelectron spectra allows simultaneous monitoring of FEL spectrum and the multiphoton process for each FEL pulse, revealing that the two-photon ionization from Ar(+) is significantly enhanced by intermediate resonances in Ar(+).

    Photoelectron spectroscopy has been performed to study the multiphoton double ionization of Ar in an intense extreme ultraviolet laser field (h nu similar to 21 eV, similar to 5 TW/cm(2)), by using a free electron laser (FEL). Three distinct peaks identified in the observed photoelectron spectra clearly show that the double ionization proceeds sequentially via the formation of Ar(+): Ar + h nu -> Ar(+) + e(-) and Ar(+) + 2h nu -> Ar(2+) + e(-). Shot-by-shot recording of the photoelectron spectra allows simultaneous monitoring of FEL spectrum and the multiphoton process for each FEL pulse, revealing that the two-photon ionization from Ar(+) is significantly enhanced by intermediate resonances in Ar(+).

    The fragmentation of deuterated benzene (CA) in ultrashort intense laser fields (9 fs, 1 x 10(15) W/cm(2)) is studied by the ion-coincidence momentum imaging technique. Five two-body and eight three-body Coulomb explosion pathways from the trication (C6D63+), associated with the deprotonation and ring-opening reactions, are identified. It is found from the fragment momentum correlation that all the observed three-body explosion processes proceed sequentially via the two-body Coulomb explosion forming molecular dications, CmDn2+, with (m,n) = (6,5), (5,5), (5,4), (4,4), (4,3), and (3,3), which further dissociate into pairs of monocations. The branching ratio of the fragmentation pathways estimated from the number of the observed coincidence events indicates that the fragmentation is nonstatistical.

    An electron-ion coincidence momentum imaging apparatus has been developed and applied to dissociative ionization of CS2 in ultrashort intense laser fields. Photoelectron images of CS2 in 35 fs intense laser fields (2 x 10(13) W/cm(2), 800 nm, linearly polarized) recorded in coincidence with the parent ion, CS2+, show clear concentric ring patterns due to the above-threshold ionization (ATI) process. On the other hand, broad structureless distributions elongated along the direction of the laser polarization are observed in the coincidence electron images for the CS+ and S' fragment ions. The difference in the electron images indicates that the dissociative ionization does not proceed sequentially by the formation and photodissociation of CS2+ in intense laser fields.

    We discuss two novel approaches to visualize ultrafast dynamics of polyatomic molecules using few-cycle intense laser pulses and the high-order harmonics in the soft X-ray region, respectively. First, we present the real-time Coulomb explosion imaging of ultrafast isomerization of C 2D2 2+ by using intense few-cycle laser pulses (&lt
    10 fs, ∼1 PW/cm2, ∼800 nm) to show that the hydrogen migration proceeds recurrently in competition with the molecular dissociation. Secondly, we present a new experimental setup for the real-time inner-core excitation imaging, focusing on the generation and separation of the light source using the 59th order harmonic pulses (∼91 eV) and their characteristics. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.

    The isomerization of acetylene via hydrogen migration in intense laser fields (8 X 10 14 W/cm(2)) has been investigated by coincidence momentum imaging of the three-body Coulomb explosion process, C(2)H(2)(3+)-&gt; H(+)C(+)CH(+). When ultrashort (9 fs) laser pulses are used, the angle between the momenta of C(+) and H(+) fragments exhibits a sharp distribution peaked at a small angle (similar to 20 degrees), showing that the hydrogen atom remains near the original carbon site in the acetylene configuration. On the other hand, a significantly broad distribution extending to larger momentum angles (similar to 120 degrees) is observed when the pulse duration is increased to 35 fs, indicating that the ultrafast isomerization to vinylidene is induced in the longer laser pulse, (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

In addition to a decrease in the total kinetic energy release, a broadening in the Dalitz plot distribution [Philos. Mag. 44, 1068 (1953)] is observed when the pulse duration is increased from 9 to 40 fs. The analysis based on a simple Coulomb explosion model shows that the geometrical structure of O-3 remains almost unchanged during the interaction with the few-cycle intense laser fields, while a significant structural deformation along all the three vibrational coordinates, including the antisymmetric stretching coordinate, is identified in the 40 fs intense laser fields. The observed nuclear dynamics are discussed in terms of the population transfer to the excited states of O-3. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

From the momentum correlation maps obtained for the three-body fragmentation pathway, N2O3+-> N++N++O+, the ultrafast structural deformation dynamics of N2O prior to the Coulomb explosion is extracted. It is revealed that the internuclear N-N and N-O distances stretch simultaneously as the bond angle > N-N-O decreases. In addition, two curved thin distributions are identified in the momentum correlation maps, and are interpreted well as those originating from the sequential dissociation pathway, N2O3+-> N++NO2+-> N++N++O+.

The comparable yields derived for the three pathways (n = 0-2) shows that the hydrogen atom migration proceeds in competition with the Coulomb explosion. The angular distributions of the fragment ions for n = 0 exhibits a sharp peak along the laser polarization direction while the angular distribution becomes more isotropic as n increases. Based on a least-squares analysis of the fragment anisotropy, the dissociation lifetimes of the doubly charged acetonitrile were determined, from which the time scale of the hydrogen migration as well as the deformation of the C-C-N skeleton prior to the explosion were discussed.

    The non-sequential three-body Coulomb explosion, CS23+ --&gt; S+ + C+ + S+, in an intense laser field (0.2 PW/cm(2), 60 fs) is studied by the coincidence momentum imaging of the fragment ions. The observed angular distribution of the momentum vectors of the two S+ ions, p(1) (S+) and p(2)(S+), exhibits a peak at an angle as small as theta(12) similar to 140degrees, showing that the nuclear motion is induced along the bending coordinate to a large extent prior to the explosion. On the other hand, the difference between their absolute values, Deltap(12) = \p(1)(S+)\ - \p(2)(S+), has a sharp distribution peaked at Deltap(12) = 0, suggesting that the symmetric stretching motion dominates over the antisymmetric stretching motion in the laser field. Based on the energy dependence of the momentum vector correlation, the characteristic nuclear dynamics of CS2 on the light-dressed potential energy surfaces in an intense laser field is discussed.

In the case of the bare aniline cation, the decomposition forming the five-membered ring compound, cyclopentadienyl cation (C5H6+), dominantly proceeds in both the femtosecond and nanosecond laser fields. When one or two ammonia molecules are attached to the aniline cation, the decomposition is significantly suppressed. This suppression was interpreted in terms of an intermolecular energy flow through the hydrogen bonding. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

The covariance map measurements are performed with high momentum resolution to assign securely the dissociation pathways. From the anisotropic momentum distribution of O+ with respect to the laser polarization direction, the electronic states of O-2(+) are found to be coupled exclusively through parallel transitions in the course of the dissociation process. The released kinetic energy of O+ for both 795 and 398 nm are interpreted consistently by a sequential coupling model of light-dressed potential curves of O-2(+) in the quartet Pi state manifold.

    Using a tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometer, benzene cations produced by the resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization are mass separated and are exposed to intense laser fields (similar to 2x10(16) W/cm(2)) at lambda similar to 790 and 395 nm with the pulse duration of similar to 50 fs. Comparing the yields of the product ions with those obtained from neutral benzene molecules, the ionization and dissociation dynamics of benzene in intense laser fields is investigated. At lambda similar to 790 nm, the formation of parent benzene ions is a dominant process irrespective of the initial charge states, i.e., major products obtained when starting from neutral benzene are benzene cations and dications and those obtained when starting from benzene cation are benzene dications. On the other hand, at lambda similar to 395 nm, the fragmentation processes to produce C4Hi+(i=2-4) and C3Hj+(j=1-3) dominate over further ionization to the benzene dication for both cases starting from neutral benzene and benzene cation, indicating the population trapping occurs by the efficient confinement in the light-dressed mixture of the C and X states of benzene cations assisted by the ultrafast intramolecular decay process.

    The rotational and vibrational state distributions of the CO fragments produced through the photodissociation of OCS in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region (150-155 nm), OCS (2 (1)Sigma (+))--&gt; CO (X (1)Sigma (+))+S(S-1), are derived for the three lowest quasi-bound vibrational resonances (upsilon*=0-2) in the 2 (1)Sigma (+) state. The rotational state distributions of the CO fragments in the upsilon (CO)=0 and 1 vibrational states are determined, respectively, by the analysis of the rotational structures in the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of the A(1)Pi -X (1)Sigma (+)(0,0) and (1,1) transitions of CO. The rotational temperatures of CO in the upsilon (CO)=0 state are low (similar to 100 K) for all the three resonances, while those in the upsilon (CO)=1 state are substantially higher, i.e., 2210, 940, and 810 K for upsilon*=0, 1, and 2, respectively. The vibrational state distributions of CO are derived from the Doppler spectroscopy of the counterpart S(S-1) fragments. From the analysis of the observed Doppler profiles, it is found for all the three lowest vibrational resonances of OCS that the vibrational distributions are represented well by the Boltzmann-type distribution with a vibrational temperature of around 7000 K. On the basis of these new findings, the energy partitioning in the photodissociation process through these three vibrational resonances in the 2 (1)Sigma (+) state is discussed.

    The nuclear dynamics of NO in intense laser fields (similar to 1.4 PW cm(-2)) is studied on the basis of the momentum-scaled time-of-flight spectra and mass-resolved momentum imaging maps of the atomic fragment ions, NP+ and Oq+ (p, q = 1-3), produced from the (p, q) Coulomb explosion pathways of NO, i.e. NO(p+q)+ --&gt; Np+ + Oq+. A procedure to extract nuclear dynamics from the momentum maps is proposed by taking account of the effect of the finite detector size. The resultant nine (p, q) single-pathway components show that (a) the distributions of the N-O internuclear distance of NOz+ just before the Coulomb explosion exhibit significant broadening (similar to 1 Angstrom); (b) the distance at which the corresponding distribution takes a maximum increases from 1.68 to 2.34 Angstrom as z from 2 to 6 with a small amount of suppression at odd z (z = 3, 5); and (c) the atomic fragment ions exhibit narrower angular distributions for a larger total charge z (= p + q) of NOz+.

    The momentum vector distributions of fragment ions produced through the Coulomb explosion of small molecules such as NO, CO2, NO2, and H2O in intense laser fields (similar to 1 PW/cm(2)) are measured by the mass-resolved momentum imaging (MRMI) technique. For NO, the MRMI maps for a single (p,q) pathway, NO(p+q)+ --&gt; NP+ + Oq+ (p, q = 1 similar to 3), are extracted from the observed MRMI maps on the basis of the momentum matching of the NP+ and Oq+. ion pair. In the MRMI maps for the fragment ions produced from CO2, NO2, and H2O, their ultrafast structural deformation both along the stretching coordinate and along the bending coordinate is identified. The &lt;O-C-O angle distribution of CO2 Spreads significantly (FWHM similar to 40 degrees), and the &lt;O-N-O bond angle of NO2 increases toward a linear configuration within the ultrashort duration of the laser pulse. This type of deformation is also identified for H2O. These structural deformations are most reasonably interpreted as a consequence of the formation of light-dressed potential energy surfaces.

The N-O distance just before the Coulomb explosion is elongated significantly from that in the electronic ground state, and it monotonically increases from 1.7 to 2.1 Angstrom as z increases from 4 to 9. The angle O-N-O bond angle increases toward a linear configuration as a function of z, which is interpreted in terms of the formation of the light-dressed potential energy surfaces. The two-body fragmentation pathways to produce NO+ and NO2+ are also investigated by the MRMI measurements to derive the extent of the asymmetrical bond elongation of one of the two N-O bonds.

The observed large mean amplitude along the angle O-C-O bond angle (similar to 40 degrees) was attributed to the ultrafast bending motion induced on the light-dressed potential energy surfaces.

    The absorption and laser-induced fluorescence spectra of the (C)over-tilde(1)B(2)-(X)over-tilde(1)A(1), band of SO2 were simultaneously measured between 221.5 and 208 nm under jet-cooled conditions. The fluorescence quantum yields above the dissociation threshold showed irregularity, reflecting a level specificity in the predissociation rate. The vibronic-level dependence in the predissociation rate was interpreted in terms of the nodal structure of the vibrational wavefunctions, constructed from a least-squares analysis of the observed vibrational energies in the C state. The vibrational wavefunctions can be categorized into two types of localized wavefunctions: one stretching along the dissociation coordinate which tends to afford a much faster dissociation rate than the other which folds perpendicularly to the dissociation coordinate.

    The Coulomb explosion reactions of N-2, N-2((p+q)+) --&gt; Np+ + Nq+ caused by the irradiation of intense laser light (0.73-6.9 PW/cm(2)) were investigated by high-resolution time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectroscopy and by the mass-resolved two-dimensional momentum imaging (MRMI) method. Six explosion pathways(p, q) = (1, 1), (1,2), (1,3), (2, 2), (2, 3) and (3, 3) in addition to (0, 1), (0,2) dissociation pathways were identified, whose assignments were securely performed both from the momentum matching between the fragment pair and their correlation with the laser-field intensity dependence. The MRMI method, which visualizes the radial and angular momentum distributions of mass-selected fragment ions on a two-dimensional momentum plane, was used to correlate ion fragments produced after the Coulomb explosion. By examining theoretically synthesized MRMI maps, it was found that the momentum distributions of the fragment ions in a wide momentum range can be extracted by the MRMI technique. The relative yields of the explosion pathways at six different laser-field intensities were evaluated from the three-dimensional integration of the MRMI maps, and the intensity dependence of the formation of singly and multiply charged parent N-2((p+q) +) ions prior to the fragmentation was derived.

    The mass-resolved excitation spectrum of the B (II1)-I-3-X(1)Sigma(+) transition of HgAr was measured by the two-color resonantly enhanced two-photon ionization method using a high-resolution reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The rotational structures were recorded with high spectral resolution (similar to 0.05 cm(-1))for the (upsilon(B),0) bands (upsilon(B) = 0 - 9) of a single isotopomer (HgAr)-Hg-200. From the rotational analysis, the presence of an Omega-type doubling was identified for the first time, which is caused by the rotational perturbation from the nearby highly excited vibrational levels of the A (II0+)-I-3 state. The spacing between the Omega-type doublers was found to exhibit a characteristic reversal as a function of upsilon(B). From the deperturbation of the Omega-type doubling, the vibrational level energies of the A state in the vibrationally highly excited region were derived, from which its long-range interaction potential was determined.

    Mass-resolved excitation spectra of the C1-X0(+) band of XeAr were measured under jet-cooled conditions using a tunable coherent vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light (lambda similar to 130 nm) as an excitation light source and a high-resolution (m/Delta m similar to 1100) reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The rotational structure of the C1-X0(+) (upsilon',0) (upsilon'=2-6) vibronic bands were recorded by monitoring the parent (XeAr+)-Xe-132-Ar-40 ions and the fragment Xe-132(+) ions. From the analysis of the rotational structures, the existence of the two dissociation pathways from the C1 state was identified for the first time; i.e., (i) the rotationally dependent predissociation caused by an electron-rotation interaction (L- and/or S-uncoupling) with the dissociative state with 0(-) symmetry correlating with the Xe 6s'(1/2)(0) level, and (ii) the rotationally independent predissociation caused by the electrostatic interaction with a repulsive state with Omega = 1 symmetry correlated either with the Xe 6s(3/2)(1) level or the Xe 6s(3/2)(2) level. From the least-squares fit to the partially resolved rotational structures, the dissociation rates for these two pathways as well as the band origins and the rotational constants, were derived for the upsilon'=2-6 levels in the C1 state.

    The rotational predissociation of water molecules in the vibrationless level of the (C) over tilde B-1(1) state was investigated under jet-cooled conditions (27-154 K) by exciting them with a tunable VUV laser in the wavelength range of 124.3-123.7 nm and by detecting the total fluorescence from electronically excited photofragments OH(A(2)Sigma (+)). Due to the simple one-photon selection rule and the efficient rotational cooling, individual low-J rotational transitions of the (C) over tilde B-1(1)-(X) over tilde (1)A(1) origin band were observed with almost no overlap in the laser-induced photofragment fluorescence (LIPF) spectrum. The widths and intensities of these rotational transitions exhibited pronounced dependence on the parent rotational levels in the (C) over tilde B-1(1) state. The least-squares analysis of the observed line-widths (FWHM) of the resolved rotational transitions, Gamma 's, showed that they are well described by the formula, Gamma = Gamma (0) + a(a)[J(a)'(2)], with optimized parameters Gamma (0) = 2.5(1) cm(-1) and a(a) = 0.63(1) cm(-1), indicating that (i) the homogeneous interaction couples the (C) over tilde B-1(1) state with the (A) over tilde B-1(1) state to form OH fragments in the electronically ground (2)Pi (i) state and (ii) the heterogeneous (a-axis orbital-rotation) interaction couples the (C) over tilde B-1(1) state with the (B) over tilde (1)A(1) state to form OH fragments in the electronically excited A(2)Sigma (+) state. By taking account of the rotational line-broadening effect, the least-squares analysis was also performed to fit the observed spectral intensities to derive the branching ratio of the OH(A(2)Sigma (+)) formation via the (B) over tilde (1)A(1) state of H2O. It was found that the OH(A(2)Sigma (+)) formation branching ratio can be expressed by an exponential form, exp(-gamma [J(a)'(2)]), which was proposed first by Hodgson et al. [Mol. Phys., 54, 351 (1985)], and reproduces well the observed rotational intensity pattern when gamma = 0.097(7). By using this branching ratio and the previous data for the absorption oscillator strength, the absolute cross section to yield OH(A(2)Sigma (+)) photofragments was obtained as a function of the excitation energy.

    In a positive column plasma of glow discharge in neon the population of metastable atoms (2p(5)3s configuration) is substantial. Linearly polarized pulsed laser light excited these atoms to one of the 2p(5)3p configuration levels, and the direct fluorescence was observed with its polarized components resolved. From the temporal development of the intensities of these components, the disalignment (depolarization) rate due to atom (neon or helium) collisions was determined. From its atom-density (&lt;3 x 10(23) m(-3)) dependence the rate coefficient was determined, and from the temperature (42-650 K) dependence of the rate coefficient, the disalignment collision cross section was estimated as a function of energy in the energy range of the order of 10 meV. The cross section of the 2p(2) (Paschen notation) atoms has positive dependence on energy, while that of the 2p(7) atoms has a negative dependence. The cross sections thus determined serve asa quantitative test of the molecular potentials to the order of 1 cm(-1).
    In order to confirm that the temperature of the metastable atoms in the plasma is equal to the temperature of the surrounding wall, an additional experiment was performed; the line profile of the CW laser-induced fluorescence was observed for a plasma at liquid nitrogen temperature, and the metastable atom temperature was found to be 78 K.

    The Coulomb explosion reactions of N-2 and SO2 caused by the irradiation of intense laser light were investigated by high-resolution mass spectroscopy. For N-2, from the least-squares fit to the split mass patterns for the N+, N2+ and N3+ channels, kinetic energy releases of six explosion pathways were determined. By rotating the laser polarization direction with respect to the detection axis, angular distributions for the singly and multiply charged atomic ion fragments were obtained and were converted to mass-resolved two-dimensional momentum imaging (MRMI) maps. This MRMI method was found to be useful to correlate ion fragments produced after the Coulomb explosion. MRMI was also applied to the Coulomb explosion of SO2. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

    The Coulomb explosion process of N2O in an intense laser-field (similar to 5 PW/cm(2)) has been investigated by the high-resolution time-of-flight (TOF) spectroscopy. Six two-body explosion pathways involving the NO+, NO2+, N-2(+) molecular ions have been securely identified from the momentum-scaled TOF spectra of the fragment ions. Assuming a linear geometry, three-body explosion pathways were investigated by sequential and concerted explosion models, When the concerted model is adopted, the observed momentum distributions of six atomic ion channels; N+, N2+, N3+, O+, O2+ and O3+, were well fitted using the Gaussian momentum distribution with the optimized bond elongation factor of 2.2(3). From the yields of individual Coulomb explosion pathways determined by the fit, the abundance of the parent ions, N2Oz+ (z = 2-8), prior to the two- body and three-body explosion processes was found to have a smooth distribution with a maximum at z similar to 3.

    The photodissociation reaction of SO2 via the (C) over tilde(1)B(2) state, SO2 ((C) over tilde(1)B(2)) --&gt; SO((3) Sigma(-)) + O(P-3) was investigated by experimental and theoretical approaches cooperatively to clarify its dissociation mechanism. We measured the laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectrum of the (C) over tilde-(X) over tilde band in the short UV wavelength region (210-200 nm) under jet-cooled conditions. The fluorescence quantum yields and the dissociation rates of individual vibronic levels were determined in the 220-200-nm region using (i) the LIF spectrum measured in the present study, (ii) that measured previously by Yamanouchi et al. (J. Mol. Struct, 352/353 (1995) 541) in the longer wavelength region above 210 nm, and (iii) the high-resolution absorption spectrum measured by Freeman et al. (Planet. Space. Sci. 32 (1984) 1125). The dissociation rates were also derived in the 210-200-nm region from the broadening of the rotational lines of the (C) over tilde-(X) over tilde vibronic transitions. It was found that the dissociation rates determined through two different procedures were consistent with each other, and that the rate increases almost exponentially as an excess energy above the dissociation threshold increases though there is a certain fluctuation of the dissociation rates reflecting a mode specificity. We also performed theoretical ab initio calculations to derive potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the electronic ground states and low-lying electronically excited states of SO2 within the MCSCF and MRCI levels. The theoretical calculations showed that (i) the PES of the 2(1)A' state (the (C) over tilde(1)B(2) state in C-2r symmetry), correlating with the SO((1) Delta) + O(D-1) asymptote, crosses with the repulsive singlet (3(1)A') state, correlating with the SO((3) Sigma(-)) + O(P-3) asymptote, to form a pseudo-seam, (ii) the crossing pseudo-seam of these two PESs is located near the equilibrium bent angles for the X and C states along the energy contour of similar to 9700 cm(-1) measured from the SO((3) Sigma(-)) + O(P-3) dissociation limit, and (iii) the crossing seam between the 2(1)A' ((C) over tilde(1)B(2)) and repulsive 2(3)A' states is located in a lower energy region than the singlet seam; at similar to 6700 cm(-1) measured from the SO((3) Sigma(-)) + O(P-3) dissociation limit. On the basis of the above experimental and theoretical results together with the previous experimental evidence, we propose that (i) the photodissociation reaction via the (C) over tilde state proceeds mainly through the vibronic mixing between the (C) over tilde state vibronic levels with the quasi-bound dissociation continuum of the electronic ground X(1)A(1) state, and (ii) the additional dissociation channels may be open through the crossing seam with the repulsive singlet (3(1)A') state and that with the repulsive tiplet (2(3)A') slate in their narrow crossing energy regions.

    Photofragment excitation (PHOFEX) spectroscopy was applied to determine the dissociation energies of the B-3 Pi(1) states of HgAr and HgNe. The PHOFEX spectra were measured in the wavelength region where the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum of the B-3 Pi(1)-X-1 Sigma(+) transition exhibits a continuum structure by probing the photolysis product of Hg(6(3)P(1)) through the Hg(8(3)S(1)-6(3)P(1)) transition. By the spectral simulation of the threshold behavior of the high-resolution (Delta v approximate to 0.08 cm(-1)) PHOFEX spectrum, the thresholds for the photodissociation reaction, HgRg --&gt; Hg(6(3)P(1)) + Rg, were determined to be 39447.9(3) and 39536.0(5) cm(-1) for Rg = Ne and Ar, respectively. From these thresholds, the dissociation energies, D-0's, of the B-3 Pi(1) states of HgNe and HgAr were determined to be D-0(B-3 Pi(1); HgNe)= 9.8(3) and Do(B-3 pi(1); HgAr)= 61.8(5) cm(-1), respectively. This direct determination of the dissociation energies of the B-3 Pi(1) states led to a determination of the D-0's for the X-1 Sigma(+) and A(3) Pi(0+) states; D-0(X-1 Sigma(+); HgNe)= 35.6(3), D-0(X-1 Sigma(+); HgAr)= 123.7(5), D-0(A(3) Pi(0+); HgNe)= 68.7(3), and D-0(A(3) Pi(0+); HgAr)= 348.8(6) cm(-1) In addition, the (v',0) vibronic bands of the B-3 Pi(1)-X-1 Sigma(+) transition of HgAr were re-measured with high resolution for v' = 0-8. From the transition wavenumbers of these vibronic bands, the Morse potential parameters were determined with high precision as omega(e) = 11.94(3) cm(-1) and omega(e)x(e) = 0.594(3) cm(-1).

    Ultrafast photodissociation dynamics of OCS on the dissociative potential energy surface (PES) of the electronically excited (1) Sigma(+) state was investigated by photofragment excitation (PHOFEX) spectroscopy and time-dependent wavepacket calculations. The high-resolution PHOFEX spectrum of the entire (1) Sigma(+)-(1) Sigma(+) transition (63 300-69 350 cm(-1)) in the vacuum ultraviolet (vacuum UV) region was measured under jet-cooled conditions by using a tunable vacuum UV laser as an excitation light source and by monitoring the fragment S(S-1) atom. Due to sufficient vibrational and rotational cooling in a supersonic jet, a simple and distinct vibrational progression of the (1) Sigma(+)-(1) Sigma(+) band was recorded free from vibrational hot bands and the broadening by rotational structure. The autocorrelation function obtained from a Fourier transform of the PHOFEX spectra clearly exhibited recurrences with a period of 42 fs, corresponding to a period of the vibrational motion at the transition state along the direction perpendicular to the dissociation coordinate, This interpretation of the ultrafast motion in the transition-state region was supported by the wavepacket calculation on the ab initio PES obtained in the present study, which afforded a period of 48 fs for vibrational motion along the in-phase CO and CS stretching mode at the transition state on the ab initio PES. The distinct six peaks broadened due to the fast dissociation process were assigned to the transitions at the upsilon(TS) 0-5 levels, where upsilon(TS) represents a vibrational quantum number for the Feshbach resonances in the in-phase stretching mode at the transition state. For the upsilon(TS) = 0 peak, the narrowest width corresponding to the lifetime, tau(upsilon(TS)), of tau(0) = 133 fs was obtained. It was found that the dissociation lifetime first becomes shorter for a larger upsilon(TS), i.e., tau(1) = 44 fs and tau(2) = 27 fs, and then, the peak width becomes narrower for the higher vibrational states above upsilon(TS) = 2, with corresponding lifetimes of tau(3) = 47 fs and tau(4) = 44 fs. This deceleration of the dissociation rate for the larger upsilon(TS) states was interpreted as a result of trapping of a wave function in the in-phase stretching or the CO stretching vibrational motion suppressing the motion along the dissociation coordinate. All six main peaks in the PHOFEX spectra exhibited a characteristic asymmetric profile, originating from the interference between the zero-order discrete states for the in-phase stretching vibration at the transition state and the zero-order continuum states corresponding with the motion along the dissociation coordinate. In the main progression of the PHOFEX spectra, the reversal of the asymmetry direction was also observed. This q-reversal phenomenon was ascribed to the characteristic shape of the excited (1) Sigma(+) PES near the transition region which causes a phase shift in the wave functions in a narrow energy range.

    The measurements of the photofragment excitation (PHOFEX) spectrum of jet-cooled OCS were extended toward the 152.6 and 150.6 nm peaks in the (1) Sigma(+)-(1) Sigma(+) transition. The PHOFEX spectra were recorded by scanning the wavelength of a tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VU) photolysis laser while probing the S(S-1) product by a second laser. Due to the efficient cooling of the sample in the free-jet expansion and the high-resolving power of the VUV laser, the homogeneous broadening of the dissociative state was derived directly from the observed PHOFEX spectrum. Based on the measured peak width, the lifetimes (tau) of the dissociative states at 152.6 and 150.6 nm were determined to be tau approximate to 50 and 31 fs. The PHOFEX peaks were found to exhibit an asymmetric line profile, and a fitting to a Fano line formula led to the asymmetry parameters, q= -8.1(2) and -13.0(6), for the 152.6 and 150.6 nm peaks, indicating a considerable mixing of the continuum and discrete states in that particular energy region. On the basis of the determined lifetimes and q values, together with the corresponding values for the 154.5 nm peak, tau approximate to 140 fs and q = -3.5(9), the dissociation dynamics on the repulsive (1) Sigma(+) surface was inferred.

    The photofragment excitation (PHOFEX) spectrum of jet-cooled OCS was remeasured for the 154.5 nm peak in the (1) Sigma(+)-(1) Sigma(+) transition by scanning a tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser wavelength in the deep VUV region and by probing the S(S-1) product with a second laser. Due to the efficient cooling of the sample in the free-jet expansion and the high-resolving power of the VUV laser, the homogeneous broadening of the dissociative state was derived directly from the observed PHOFEX spectrum. Based on the measured peak width, the lifetime (tau) of the dissociative state was determined to be tau congruent to 0.14 ps. The profile of the PHOFEX peak was found to be asymmetric and was fit to a Fano line profile to derive the value of the asymmetry parameter, q=-3.5(9), which indicates a considerable mixing of the continuum and discrete states in that particular energy region. A Fourier-transform analysis was also performed for the whole distinct absorption feature in the 160-140 nm region measured by McCarthy and Vaida [J. Phys. Chem., 92, 5875 (1988)], and the period of the vibrational motion on the dissociative potential-energy surface was derived to be 41 fs. Using these pieces of experimental evidence, the dissociation dynamics on the repulsive (1) Sigma(+) surface in the 154.5 nm region was inferred.

    Laser-induced-fluorescence spectroscopy has been applied to a neon discharge plasma. A disalignment rate coefficient for 2p2 (Paschen notation; 2p5 3p configuration) atoms for neon atom collisions was determined at several atom temperatures (77-640 K). From the temperature dependence of the rate coefficient we estimate the cross section which explicitly depends on collision energy. It is found that the cross section has a positive energy dependence, which suggests that the OMEGA = 0 and 1 molecular potential curves correlating to the 2P2 State of neon are repulsive by about 100 cm-1 where these curves split by 10-20 cm-1.

    A time resolved experiment on the lowest lying states of barium fluoride has been performed by applying laser resonance methods in the near infrared and green-blue wavelength regions. The A2PI and B2SIGMA+ states have been examined using Ti:sapphire laser excitations in the 710-850 nm wavelength region. The C2PI state was examined using the 496.5 nm Ar+ laser line and the lifetime of this state was in accordance with earlier measurements. The lifetimes obtained for the BaF molecule were: A2PI3/2, 46.1 +/- 0.9 ns; B2SIGMA+, 41.7 +/- 0.3 ns.

    The barium bromide monohalide has been studied by using laser resonance methods in the near-infrared and green-blue wavelength regions. The low-lying B 2SIGMA+ state has been investigated in a time-resolved experiment using a Ti:sapphire laser operating around 900 nm. No influence on the radiative lifetime due to the B 2SIGMA interaction with the A'2DELTA-A 2PI complex was observed. The radiative lifetime of the C2PI state was examined using the 514.5 nm Ar+ laser line. The derived lifetime of this state was in agreement with earlier measurements. The following lifetimes were obtained for the BaBr molecule: B 2SIGMA+ 123.2 +/- 0.5 ns and C2PI(3/2)16.9+/-0.1 ns.

    Lifetimes have been measured for a large number of rotational levels of the A2DELTA and B2SIGMA-states in CD using the high frequency deflection technique. Four B-state levels are found to be influenced by predissociation by rotation which demands a lower value of the CD dissociation energy. The B state predissociations have also been studied using ab initio calculations. The A state levels above the dissociation limit are found to be weakly predissociated through interaction with the ground state continuum. The results are compared with earlier lifetime investigations of CH.

    Alignment effects at electron excitation measurements of atomic lifetimes have been studied at 20 keV energy using the High Frequency Deflection technique and a plastic polarizer. Disalignment associated with radiation trapping is observed directly for the first time. It has been pointed out that our previous results of the lifetime of the Ar 2p(i) levels might possibly have been influenced not only by radiation trapping itself but also by this "radiative disalignment". However, this influence has been found to be negligible thanks to small intrinsic alignment in almost all lines of noble gases investigated.

    The influence of radiation trapping on the polarization degree of the emission of the He I 501.6 nm line (3(1)P-2(1)S) is studied by experiments and a simulation. In the experiments, a particle (proton or electron) beam was injected into a helium gas cell. The accelerating energy was 100 keV for protons and 1.5, 2.5 and 5.0 keV for electrons. The polarization degree measured as a function of gas pressure showed a minimum at a certain gas pressure in accordance with results obtained by Hasselkamp et al. A Monte Carlo simulation method to treat the non-resonance line of the resonance state in a finite gas cell is presented. This simulation reproduces the minimum of the polarization degree as seen from experiments. We conclude that this minimum is caused by the asymmetry in the spatial distribution of atoms excited by collisions. We attempt to estimate a polarization degree not influenced by radiation trapping by fitting the simulated results to the experimental ones.

    We have observed emission radiation from helium atoms excited in He+-He collisions by the direct and electron capture processes over the energy range 0.5-20 keV.The relative emission cross sections for transitions 21,3P-31,3S, 21,3S-31,3P and 21,3P-31,3Dhave been determined. Degrees of optical polarization have also been determined for theP- and D-state excitations. The emission cross section of the direct excitation and that ofthe electron capture excitation show oscillations against impact energy, which are inantiphase with each other. The polarization degrees for both processes are of nearly thesame magnitude and show weak oscillations in antiphase with each other. The oscillationsof the cross section and those of the polarization degree are in phase in some cases andin antiphase in other cases. These oscillations are interpreted as due to the interferencebetween the gerade and ungerade states of the helium quasimolecular ion.

Rabioscillation is one such process offering a periodic population transfer between quantum states in anultrashort time scale. Here we demonstrate a robust and simple scheme to achieve femtosecond twophotonRabi oscillations by intense NIR laser pulses, using excited He atoms prepared by EUV-FEL.The extension to multiphoton regime will expand the applicability to highly excited or dipole-forbiddenstates.

    Laser high-order harmonics in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray region serve as a uniquetool to study ultrafast molecular dynamics associated with valence or inner-shell electron excitations.The harmonics are often obtained as a train of pulses, which result in a spectrum with a comb consistingof the odd harmonic orders. However, it is often the case that isolated pulses rather than pulse trains arepreferred in the conventional pump-probe spectroscopy, to avoid signal overlaps associated with differentharmonic orders. Here we review our approach for the single-order harmonics generation in EUV byusing dielectric multilayer mirrors and metal foils, and the application to photoelectron spectroscopy onwavepacket dynamics of simple molecules such as Br2, I2 and N2.

    The advances in free electron laser (FEL) technology allow us to generate intense laser fields in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray. Recent studies show that responses of materials to such high-frequency intense laser fields are inherently different from those observed in visible and infrared. In this reveiw, we discuss current progresses in intense laser field physics in EUV and X-ray, especially by focussing on non-linear responses of isolated atoms.

Single-shot photoelectron spectroscopy utilizing with a magnetic-bottle-type electron spectroscopic technique is a useful means to study the details of multiphoton multiple ionization processes. We present that the method enables us to monitor the fluctuation of SASE-FEL spectra and to derive photon energy dependence of the multiphoton multiple ionization processes precisely.

    Molecules exposed to few-cycle intense laser fields (> 10<sup>14</sup> W/cm<sup>2</sup>) undergo a rapid bond breakingprocess called Coulomb explosion. Since the momenta of the resultant fragment ions reflect thegeometrical structure of the target molecule, Coulomb explosion provides a direct access to theinstantaneous structure of molecules during chemical reaction. Combined with the pump-probe schemein ultrafast spectroscopy, Coulomb explosion imaging serves as a unique means to probe ultrafastmolecular reaction processes in real time. Here we review this novel approach in ultrafast spectroscopy,with the applications to ultrafast isomerization of deuterated acetylene dication (C<sub>2</sub>D<sub>2</sub><sup>2+</sup>).

    化学反応や光応答,電子移動など分子の性質を司る最外殻軌道電子の運動を可視化することを目的として,強レーザー場における「トンネルイオン化」を利用した新規分光法の開拓を行う。気相分子を対象とし,トンネル電子の分子座標系角度分布(MFPAD)や垂直方向運動量分布(TMD)が,電子波動関数やイオン化ポテンシャルなどで決まる分子固有の観測量であることを利用する。これに円偏光レーザー場による超高速な電場の角度挿引を組み合わせることで,刻一刻と変化する分子について定量的な実時間イメージングを実現する「超高速レーザートンネル電子分光法」の基盤を構築する。
    強レーザー場によって歪められた束縛ポテンシャルを電子がトンネル透過するトンネルイオン化は,標的原子分子のイオン化軌道の特徴を反映することから,化学反応過程における電子ダイナミクスを探る手段として期待されている。ここでは,円偏光レーザー場において生成した放出電子の運動量分布にトンネルイオン化過程の特徴が現れることに着目し,その3次元運動量のイオンコインシデンス画像計測を行った。イオン化軌道の違いがトンネル電子運動量分布に与える効果について明らかにするため,同程度のイオン化ポテンシャル(Ar: 15.8 eV,H2: 15.4 eV)をもつAr(3p)およびH2(1sσg)を対象とした実験を行った。同じレーザー場強度条件のもとで比較するために混合気体を用い,電子-イオンコインシデンス計測法によってAr+またはH2+と同時に検出された光電子の運動量分布をそれぞれ計測した。また位置敏感型検出器の校正を行うことで,精密な運動量計測を実現した。ArおよびH2とも円偏光面に沿った明瞭なトーラス(ドーナツ)状の分布を示したが,トーラス主半径およびトーラス断面に現れる垂直運動量分布の幅には明瞭な差が見出された。高強度場近似(SFA)に基づく理論計算を用いてp軌道およびs軌道からイオン化した光電子の運動量分布を計算したところ,実験結果と同程度の差が得られた。これから実験で観測されたArとH2の光電子分布の違いは価電子軌道がもつ特徴の違い,特に軌道角運動量に起因していることが明らかとなった。
    円偏光レーザー場における水素分子およびAr原子からのトンネル電子の運動量分布を高い高精度3次元計測し,トンネル電子の垂直運動にもとづいてその軌道の特徴を明らかにできた。また,フェムト秒パラメトリック増幅器(OPA)の立ち上げおよび光電子運動量分布計測を実施し,波長効果についても予備な結果を得ている。他の分子種についての研究も進め,高繰り返しレーザーを用いてトンネルイオン化と分子解離を分離した計測法の開拓に着手するなど,実施計画に沿った形で研究を進めることができた。
    本年度の研究で明らかになったArとH2における分子軌道効果について,新たに導入したパラメトリック増幅器(OPA)によりレーザー波長を系統的に変化させた検証をおこなう。特にトンネルイオン化条件を満たす赤外領域(1-3 μm)における光電子分布の計測を進め,分子座標系角度分布および垂直運動量分布をもとにトンネルイオン化理論との定量的比較を行い,非断熱効果について明らかにする。また補助解離パルスを用いてイオン化と分子解離を分離する手法についてより詳細な検討を進め,多原子分子への応用に取り組む。

    超短パルス強レーザー場におけるキラル分子のレーザートンネル電子円2色性を観測する。実験室系におけるトンネル電子の3次元運動量分布や,解離生成イオンとの相関を計測することによって,左右円偏光に対する分子応答がどのように変化するかを明らかにする。これによって,強レーザー場円2色性計測による新しいキラリティ検出法の開拓に向けた,キラル分子のトンネルイオン化ダイナミクスの理解を進める。
    超短パルス強レーザー場におけるキラル分子のレーザートンネル電子運動量分布の3次元運動量観測に向けて,引き続き電子ーイオンコインシデンス運動量計測系および高繰り返しレーザーシステムの整備を行った。同等のイオン化ポテンシャルをもつArおよびH2について,トンネル電子の運動量分布計測を行ったところ,観測されたトーラス状分布の主半径およびトーラス断面に現れる垂直運動量分布の幅にArとH2で明瞭な違いが見出された。高強度場近似(SFA)に基づく理論計算を用いてp軌道およびs軌道からイオン化した光電子の運動量分布を計算を行い,観測された光電子分布の違いは価電子軌道がもつ特徴,特に軌道角運動量に起因していることが明らかとなった。また,実験室系および分子座標系における光電子円2色性(PECD)の精密計測を実現するために,2段スキマーを用いた冷却分子ビーム源の設計・製作を進めた。
    <BR>
    昨年度四フッ化炭素(CF4)において観測された強レーザー場における円偏光ヘリシティ依存性の詳細を明らかにすることを目的として,四塩化炭素(CCl4)分子の解離性トンネルイオン化過程,CCl4-> CCl3+ + Cl + e-,について研究を行った。電子ーイオンコインシデンス計測によって得られた反跳座標系における光電子角度分布 は,CF4と比べてほぼ等方的な分布を示した。一方,円偏光ヘリシティに対応して角度分布に明瞭な変化が見出され,強レーザー場における解離性イオン化において,非キラル分子が円2色性を示すことが確認された。また,イオン化軌道を選別したPECD測定に向けて,補助解離パルスを援用した電子ーイオンコインシデンス計測法の開発を進めた。
    強レーザー場におけるキラル分子のトンネル電子円2色性の精密観測に向けて,分子ビーム源の設計・製作を含めて,電子ーイオンコインシデンス運動量計測系の整備が順調に進んでいる。また,強レーザー場における解離性イオン化における円2色性を異なる非キラル分子において確認し,キラル分子のトンネルイオン化ダイナミクスの理解を進める上で重要な結果を得ている。
    これまでに構築した計測系を用いて,キラル分子強レーザー場におけるPECD観測を進める。これを踏まえて,イオン化軌道と選別したPECD計測,反跳イオン円2色性(TICD)観測の実現に向けた研究を実施する。また並行して長波長赤外領域のフェムト秒超短レーザーパルスを用いた研究を行い,より深いトンネル領域でのキラル分子のトンネルイオン化ダイナミクスの理解を進める。

    To understand tunneling ionization of molecules, an electron-ion coincidence measurement system using a high-repetition rate laser was constructed. It was shown that the characteristics of the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of hydrogen molecule can be read out from the three-dimensional torus-like structure of tunneling electrons in the molecular frame. On the other hand, the application to tetrafluoromethane revealed that the recoil-frame angular distribution has a dependence of the helicity of the circularly polarized laser fields, due to the correlation between ionization and dissociation. A new method utilizing an auxiliary dissociation pulse was developed to disentangle the correlation, and applied successfully to oxygen molecule. In addition, adiabatic theory for diatomic molecules incorporating the molecular vibration was developed.

    We studied laser tunneling ionization of molecules in ultrashort intense laser fields to develop an electron dynamics imaging technique. Two observables of tunneling ionization, (1) ionization rates and (2) electron transversal momentum distributions (TMDs), were measured to compare with predictions by tunneling ionization theories. It was demonstrated that one can (1) read out the asymmetric 2π highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of nitric oxide by using shaped intense laser pulses and (2) obtain the TMDs of deuterium molecule from the cross sections of a photoelectron torus in the molecular frame.

    In this research, we aimed to observe the electron emission process of atoms by using free electron laser SACLA of RIKEN, combined use of free electron laser (FEL) and near infrared (NIR) femtosecond laser. Using X-ray beamline BL 3 at SACLA, side-band formation by NIR laser was observed in the Auger electron spectra of rare gases. The sideband intensity enables us to optimize the spatial and temporal overlap by of the two lasers. In addition, a highly-excited states of single-charged xenon was probed by using NIR laser in combination with soft X-ray beamline BL1, and their decay was probed in real time.

    Many-body chemical reaction processes induced by intense laser fields are studied by using laser filament formed by femtosecond laser pulses focused by a long focusing length lens. Intense laser pulse (~40 fs, ~1mJ/pulse) were focussed to a gas-cell containing ethylene gas (~1 atm) to form a laser filament. The produced materials were analyzed by using TEM, EELS and XPS etc to show that the main products are hydrogenated amorphous carbons. It was found that the sp2/sp3 carbon ratio and the size of the nano-particles varies sensitively depending on the wavelength and intensity of the laser fields.

    We investigated the multielectron dynamics of molecules such as CO and N2 in intense laser fields by using electronic and nuclear wavepacket propagation methods and proposed laser control schemes of the generation of higher order harmonics which is a source of attosecond pulses. We experimentally demonstrated that the two C-O bonds of CO2 can be asymmetrically cleaved by changing the phase between two-color pulses, which provides a new possibility of the laser control of chemical reactions. We also established a method to simulate XFEL-induced Coulomb explosion of molecules for time-resolved molecular imaging.The results of application to iodouracil etc. are in good agreement with the experimental results.

    A system for ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy was constructed using laser high-order harmonics in extreme ultraviolet, which was successfully applied to femtosecond pump-probe real-time tracking of ultrafast electron wavepacket dynamics. The effect of electronic excitation in molecular dynamics in intense laser fields was studied by momentum imaging of dissociative ionization of UV-excited molecules. Based on the finding, a novel method to visualize electron dynamics in molecules in real time was proposed. Photoelectron spectroscopy of molecules before and after the irradiation of an intense laser pulse was performed, revealing selective excitation of specific electronic states in the laser field.

    Multi-photon absorption processes of atoms in intense short-wavelength laser fields has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. We have applied the magnetic bottle electron spectroscopic method, to achieve effective photoelectron spectroscopic researches with light sources of ultra intense and high photon energy. We have studied the three-photon double ionization of Ar in intense extreme ultraviolet free-electron laser fields over a photon energy range of 19.6-22.0 eV. It is found that the double ionization to Ar2+ proceeds sequentially via the formation of singly charged Ar+ states and is enhanced around photon energies of 20.5 and 21.5 eV. Two types of resonances are identified in the two-photon ionization of the Ar+ states: (i) resonances to intermediate states at the one-photon energy level and (ii) those to autoionizing states above the Ar2+ ionization threshold.

    強光子場における分子ダイナミクスのレーザー偏光方向に対する分子配向依存性を明らかにするために,12fs程度のパルス幅を持つ極短パルス強光子場中(〜10^<14>W/cm^2)におけるH_2Sのクーロン爆発過程をコインシデンス運動量画像法を用いて調べた。フェムト秒チタンサファイアレーザーシステムから出力された光パルス(波長800nm,パルス幅<40fs,繰り返し1kHz)の一部を,Arガス(〜0.1MPa)を充填したセル内に設置された中空ファイバーに導入しスペクトルの広帯域化を行った後、チャープミラーにより分散補償を行いパルス圧縮した。フリンジ分解自己相関波形から求められたパルス幅は9.0fsであり,パルスあたりのエネルギーとして0.4mJを得た。分子平面の方向はその法線ベクトル(n)を3体クーロン爆発過程によって観測されたH^+の運動量外積として定義し,クーロン爆発事象毎に決定した。光子場強度3×10^<11>W/cm^2における3体クーロン爆発過程,H_2S^<3+>→H^++S^++H^+,によって生成したH^+の運動量相関図には,p_1(=p_2)=37×10^3amu m/s及び45×10^3amu m/sに2つのピークが観測された。これら2つの成分はレーザー偏光ベクトル(ε)と分子平面が平行な場合(ε⊥n)および垂直な場合(ε//n)にそれぞれ観測され,異なる分子配向による分子ダイナミクスの違いを反映している事が明らかになった。測定された運動量からクーロン爆発直前のH-S結合距離R(H-S)は,ε⊥nの場合R(H-S)=2.6Å,ε//nの場合R(H-S)=1.9Åと見積もられた。このことは,分子平面が偏光ベクトルに対して平行な場合にH_2Sがより伸張した構造を持つことを示している。

    本研究では,クーロン爆発によって生成した多価原子イオンと電離電子の運動量分布を同時計測し,イオンおよび電子の持つ運動量ベクトルの相関にもとづいて強光子場中分子ダイナミクスを明らかにすることを目的とする.本年度はこの目的のために開発したコインシデンス運動量画像測定システムを用いて,強光子場中分子から生成したイオンおよび電子の運動量画像計測を行った。光子場強度(0.15PW/cm^2,70fs)におけるアセトニトリルの2体クーロン爆発過程には,3つの異なる経路CH_3CN^<2+>→CH_<3-n>^++H_nCN^+(n=0,1,2),すなわちC-C結合が直接解離する経路(n=0)に加えてメチル基(-CH_3)からニトリル基(-CN)への水素移動を伴う経路(n=1,2)が存在することが明らかとなった。これらの経路に対する分岐比がほぼ等しいことから,水素移動反応がクーロン爆発と競合して極めて高速に進行することがわかった。また,レーザー偏光方向に対する生成フラグメントイオンの空間異方性の解析から,メチル基からニトリル基への水素移動が進むにつれて,親イオンCH_3CN^<2+>の寿命が長くなることを見いだした。
    さらに,コインシデンス画像法とポンプ-プローブ計測を組み合わせて強光子場において生成したCS_2^<2+>のダイナミクスを実時間追跡した。運動量相関図には,ポンプ-プローブ遅延時間に対して鋭敏に変化する2つの異なる成分が見いだされた。これらはそれぞれCS_2^<2+>のポテンシャル曲面上で反対称伸縮振動および対称伸縮振動方向へ移動する核波束に対応し,その収量から対称伸縮振動方向の運動に伴って2つのC-S結合が同時に解裂する過程が,強光子場において極めて効率よくおこることが示された。
    また,強光子場中CS_2から生成した光電子の画像観測を行い,基本波と2次高調波を混合した光子場において,光電子空間分布が位相に応じて鋭敏に変化することを見いだした。

    The three-body Coulomb explosion process of CS_2 in intense laser fields (〜 60 fs, 0.36x10^<15> W/cm^2), CS_2^<3+> → S^+ + C+ + S^+, is studied by the triple coincidence momentum imaging of the atomic fragment ions. The set of the observed momentum vectors of the fragment ions determined for respective explosion events exhibits a dear trajectory originating from the rotational motion of an intermediate CS^<2+> ion, formed in a sequential explosion process of CS_2^<3+> prior to the complete three-body fragmentation. The analysis based on the classical free-rotor model shows that the metastable CS2+ ion has a sufficiently longer lifetime than its rotational period (〜20ps). The molecular structure of CS_2^<3+> just before the Coulomb explosion is reconstructed from the average momentum values of the S^+ and C^+ ions produced through the concerted three-body Coulomb explosion pathways under the assumption that the potential between the fragments is Coulombic. The mean C-S bond length of <r> =2.5A and the azimuthally averaged S-C-S bond angle, <γ> = 145° thus determined indicate that structural deformation occurs to a large extent in the intense laser fields.

    In order to clarify the role of light-dressed states in the dynamics of a multielectron molecule in intense laser fields, the dissociation processes, O_2^+→O^++O, in intense laser fields (100fs, 〜3×10^<14> W/cm^2) are studied at the laser wavelength of 795 nm and 398 nm on the basis of the momentum imaging maps of the O^+ fragment ions. The covariance map measurements are performed with high momentum resolution to assign securely the dissociation pathways. From the anisotropic momentum distribution of O^+ with respect to the laser polarization direction, the electronic states of O_2^+ are found to be coupled exclusively through parallel transitions in the course of the dissociation process. The released kinetic-energy of O^+ for both 795 nm and 398 nm are interpreted consistently by a sequential coupling model of light-dressed potential curves of O_2^+ in the quartet Π- state manifold.
    The dispersed fluorescence spectra of NO and O_2 were measured in the spectral range between 300 nm and 700 nm using a spectrometer equipped with a intensified CCD camera. The observed spectra exhibits a number of spectral lines, most of which were assigned to the electronic transition of the higher charged fragment ions, such as N^+, N^<2+>, O^+ and O^<2+>. A high-resolution (〜2 cm^<-1> ) measurement was performed for the N III 3^2P°→3^2S transition at 409.24 nm. The observed spectra show a doublet pattern when the laser polarization is directed towards the spectrometer, which is interpreted as a result of a large released kinetic energy imposed on the N^<2+> fragment ion through the Coulomb explosion of NO.Based on the kinetic energy estimated from the split pattern of the spectra, it was found that the N^<2+> fragment was produced through the Coulomb explosion process, NO^<4+>→N^<2+>+O^<2+>.

    超音速ジェット中に生成した、水銀・ネオン2原子クラスター(HgNe)をレーザー2色2光子共鳴法によってイオン化し、イオン化スペクトルの測定を行った。リフレクトロン型飛行時間質量分析器を用いることによって、生成したイオン種を高質量分解能で検出し、単一質量イオン種についてのイオン化スペクトルを得ることができた。測定されたスペクトルには、HgNeのイオン化限界付近(83880-84020cm^<-1>)で振動自動イオン化によるシャープな構造が見いだされた。低エネルギー分解能測定(δν=0.7cm^<-1>)によって観測された主なピークは、フランクコンドン的に明るい、イオンコアの振動量子数がv^+=2,3のイオン化限界に収斂するd-リュードベリ系列に帰属された。さらにレーザーキャビティ内エタロンを用いた高エネルギー分解能測定(δν=0.05cm^<-1>)によって、それぞれのピークは複雑な共鳴構造を持つことが見いだされた。例えば、v^+=2リュードベリ系列の一つのピークは、フランクコンドン的に暗く、より準位密度の高いv^+=1リュードベリ系列との結合によっていくつかの小ピークにわかれる。イオン化スペクトルにおけるこのような階層構造は、光励起によって生成したv^+=2イオンコアを持つリュードベリ状態が、電子とイオンコアの衝突によるエネルギーの授受によって、v^+=1のリュードベリ状態に遷移し、最終的にv^+=0のイオンを生成する過程の存在を示唆している。半古典的に考えた場合、電子とイオンコアのエネルギーの授受は。衝突の際のイオンコアの振動の位相に依存するので、イオン化過程がストカスティックなものとなることが予想されている。多チャンネル量子欠損理論を用いたより詳細なスペクトルの解析によって、量子系におけるカオスのふるまいを探ることができると考えられる。
