Ultrafast Electronic And Nuclear Dynamics In Dissociative Photoionization Of Molecular Hydrogen and Deuterium

Single-photon dissociative photoionization of H2/D2 in the Q1, Q2 doubly excited states resonance regions, where ultrafast electronic and nuclear dynamics are coupled, is studied using the vector-correlation method with single selected femtosecond high-order harmonic and synchrotron radiation in the VUV. Results are compared at the level of electron-ion kinetic energy correlation diagrams, asymmetry parameters, and the molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions.
