Abstract

Ultrashort XUV wavelength-selected pulses obtained with high harmonic generation are used to study the dynamics of molecular cations with state-to-state resolution. We demonstrate this by XUV pump - IR probe experiments on CH₃I⁺ cations and identify both resonant and non-resonant dynamics.
