Abstract
Momentum angular distributions of the nonlinear multiphoton photoelect ron spectra from intense ultrashort pulse ionization of H-2(+) molecul ar ions show signatures of electron diffraction from the two nuclei. T he interference patterns depend on the internuclear distance of H-2(+) . Photoelectron angular distributions should serve as a new tool to pr obe ultrafast molecular dynamics in pump-probe studies with intense, u ltrashort laser pulses.
