Abstract
A new type of experiment is described, in which the femtosecond pump-probe method is combined with the photoelectron-photoion coincidence technique an d time-of-flight photoelectron energy analysis. The experimental conditions for observing true coincidences are discussed. The performance of the new time resolved, ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy is exemplified by study ing the excited state dynamics of ammonia molecules and clusters.
