Description
Exposed to intense X-ray pulses, molecular Hydride clusters eject protons thereby reducing the charge imbalance generated by the X-ray photo ionisation. The consequence is a transient stabilisation of the heavy ions of the cluster backbone leading to a delayed Coulomb explosion. The mechanism behind the effect will be explained which will also elucidate why this peculiar dynamics only occurs for intermediate, experimentally realised, intensities of the X-ray pulse.
