Multiphoton dissociation of H$_{2}$S by intense x-ray pulses from the Linac Coherent Light Source FEL

ORAL

Abstract

We will report on sequential multiphoton ionization of H$_{2}$S by intense pulses of x-rays from the LCLS free electron laser. Following L-shell excitation, fragmentation of the molecule is observed by Auger electron, photoelectron, and ion time-of-flight spectroscopy. Intensity dependent features in these spectra shed light on the dynamics of the dissociation process.
