Photoelectron interference in autoionizing Rydberg States of CO<sub>2</sub>

POSTER

Abstract

We present experimental measurements and theoretical calculations for single XUV-photon (hv=17.5 eV) excitation to Rydberg states and subsequent single IR-photon(hv=1.61 eV) ionization of CO2 molecules. We measure the photoionization yield as a function of the time delay between the XUV and IR pulses and deduce quantum beats between Rydberg states which are reproduced by our numerical model [1].
