We use electron- and ion spectroscopy in order to study and control thequantum processes that determine the fragmentation and rearrangementof molecules in the gas phase. We are using electron-multi-ioncoincidence spectroscopy to study the fragmentation processes ofmolecules after irradiation with light. We are using three very differentlight sources:
- Intense Laser radiation with 100 fs pulse length. Such strong opticalfields cause ionization and fragmentation of molecules due to multiphoton processes or field ionization.
- Soft x-ray synchrotron radiation for producing molecules with a verywell defined core excitation, that undergo ultrafast fragmentation.
- Intense VUV Free-Electron-Laser.
