Evidence for ultra-fast dissociation of molecular water from resonant Auger spectroscopy

• We present direct evidence for ultra-fast dissociation of molecular water in connection photo-excitation of the Ols --> 4a(1) resonance. The core-excited H2O molecules are shown to dissociate into core-excited O*H and neutral H on a time scale comparable
