Structural dynamics during the three-ion Coulomb explosion of highly charged CS2 in intense soft x-ray pulses

Using intense femtosecond soft x-ray pulses above the sulfur 2p edge produced by the Free-electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH), we investigate the multiple ionization and fragmentation dynamics of CS2. We focus on the three-ion fragmentation pathways of CS2 polycations with total ch...
