Abstract
Few-photon induced ultrafast dynamics in acetylene (C2H 2) leading to several dissociation channels - deprotonation (H ++C2H+ and H++C2H 2+), symmetric break-up (CH++CH+) and isomerization (C++CH2+) - were investigated employing the (XUV; extreme ultra-violet)-pump-(XUV; extreme ultra-violet)-probe scheme at the free-electron laser in Hamburg, combined with multi-hit coincidence detection. The kinetic energy releases and fragment-ion momentum distributions for various decay channels are presented. The C ++CH2+ and H++C2H 2+ channels reveal clear signatures of ultrafast molecular mechanisms, demonstrating potential applications of our pump-probe technique to complex systems in order to study a large variety of ultrafast phenomena in the XUV regime.
