Abstract :
Coulomb explosion dynamics of N2O in intense laser fields was studied by coincidence momentum imaging. It was revealed that the geometrical structure of N2O is largely deformed in intense laser fields, i.e. the N-N and N-O bonds stretch to about 1.5 times and the azimuthally averaged N-N-O bond angle becomes as small as 140°.
