Abstract
There are significant differences in the multielectron dissociative ionizat ion (MEDI) of N-2 by 100-fs-long laser pulses (intensity 10(15) W cm(-2)) u sing linearly and circularly polarized light, with substantial suppression of ionization in the latter case. Enhanced ionization occurs in both instan ces at an internuclear distance (r) of similar to 2.2 Angstrom, with an inc reased propensity for MEDI at larger r values with circularly polarized lig ht.
