Concerted and sequential three-body fragmentation of deep-core-ionized carbon disulfide

Momentum vector correlation is a powerful tool to study molecular dissociation. We have studied the three-body fragmentation of carbon disulfide after sulfur 1s photoionization by means of momentum imaging techniques. Concerted and sequential pathways are disentangled in three-body fragmentation using adapted analysis strategies. In particular, we introduce various data visualization schemes that are proved to be particularly efficient to determine dissociation dynamics.

Momentum vector correlation is a powerful tool for studying molecular dissociation. In this study, we used momentum imaging techniques to investigate the three-body fragmentation of carbon disulfide after sulfur 1s photoionization. We successfully disentangled the concerted and sequential pathways in three-body fragmentation by employing adapted analysis strategies. Additionally, various data visualization schemes were introduced, proving to be particularly efficient for determining dissociation dynamics.
