The importance of Rydberg orbitals in dissociative ionization of small hydrocarbon molecules in intense few-cycle laser pulses. 635(11). doi:10.1088/1742-6596/635/11/112043We demonstrate the importance of ionization from Rydberg orbitals via experimental and theoretical work focusing on the strong-field dissociative single ionization of small hydrocarbons. Our findings suggest that Rydberg states should be routinely considered when studying polyatomic molecules in intense laser fields. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Additional Authors: Wells, E.;De Vivie-Riedle, R.Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/DissociationHydrocarbonsImpact IonizationIonizationDissociative IonizationFew-Cycle Laser PulseArticle
