Abstract
Charge asymmetric dissociation into following ionization of a CO molecular-ion beam with intense ultrashort (7–40-fs) laser pulses is studied using a coincidence three-dimensional momentum imaging method. The data suggest that allowing the molecule enough time to stretch within a laser pulse such that it ionizes beyond the curve crossings of the and potentials enhances the otherwise hard-to-reach charge asymmetric dissociation channel.
