Abstract

A statistical products phase space model for the (multi) photon fragmentation/ionization of polyatomic molecules in strong laser fields is proposed and tested on benzene. The mechanism assumes multiple dissociations and branchings starting with energy rich benzene ions. Calculated and experimental fragment mass patterns versus laser fluence are shown to be in good agreement.
