Branching Ratios from Single Ionization of CS<sup>+</sup> by Intense Laser Pulses
ORAL
Abstract
Employing a coincidence three-dimensional momentum imaging technique, we investigate the ultrafast, intense laser-induced ionization of CS+. The analysis presented here focuses on the intensity-dependent branching ratio from 3×1014 to 3×1016 W/cm2. The charge-symmetric C+ + S+ channel is dominant at all measured intensities, followed by CS2+ and then C + S2+, while C2+ + S is not observed. The branching ratio measurement is assisted by in situ determination of the detection efficiency of all the product channels.
