Caption

In the AttoCOLTRIMS apparatus, the three-dimensional motion of electrons (blue elliptical arrow) and ions (H2+ and H+, grey arrows) can be detected in coincidence. The combination of an extreme-ultraviolet (XUV, blue) and a long and rather weak infrared (IR, red) pulse in a pump-probe set-up provides the basis for studying the attosecond dynamics of the H2 molecule.
