Description

Results will be presented from recent experimental studies of intense femtosecond (fs) laser pulse interactions with small organic molecules. By electrostatically trapping the ionisation products to obtain high resolution mass spectra, we have characterised how fragment spectra change for a range of laser pulse parameters.
