Abstract :
Laser-induced fragmentation of a highly polarisable polyatomic hydrocarbon molecule, 1,3-butadiene is investigated. Cold target recoil-ion momentum spectroscopy is used to record the three-dimensional momentum distributions of the fragments. Fragmentation is accompanied by fast hydrogen migration and chemical bonds are governed by intramolecular dynamics of electrons.
