1. INTRODUCTION When a high-energy charged particle interacts with a biomolecule in
living tissues or cells, about 80% of the energy absorbed ionizes the medium, whereas the …

▪ Abstract Chemical reaction and optical dynamics in the liquid phase are strongly affected
by specific solute-solvent interactions. The dynamical part of this coupling leads to energy …

The ultrafast dynamics following one-photon UV photodetachment of I− ions in aqueous
solution are compared with those following two-photon ionization of the solvent. Ultrafast …

Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy of the equilibrated hydrated electron has been
recorded with 35 fs resolution, revealing unprecedented transient features on the 30–80 fs …

The photodissociation and photoionization of liquid water following two-photon absorption at
266 nm is studied in the spectral range from 213 to 1108 nm with subpicosecond time …

Covering state-of-the-art advances, novel applications, and future perspectives, this volume
presents new directions on the basic studies of charged particle and photon interactions with …

Les premières expériences montrant la décomposition de l'eau par action des
rayonnements ionisants datent d'un siècle. À l'occasion de cet anniversaire, nous avons …

We recently reported the first pump− probe measurements on the hydrated electron with
sufficient time resolution (∼ 35 fs) to directly observe the initial processes in the solvation …

Damage to DNA via dissociative electron attachment has been well-studied in both the gas
and condensed phases; however, understanding this process in bulk solution at a …

Photodetachment is a general property of condensed-phase anions exposed to visible or
ultraviolet light, but its mechanism has not been fully explored until recently. The …
