7. TD-ELF Examples Ethyne (acetylene) in a strong laser field

8. TD-ELF Examples Scattering of an energetic proton from ethene (ethylene)

9. INFORMATION ACCESSIBLE THROUGH TDELF How long does it take to break a bond in a laser field? Which bond breaks first, which second, etc, in a collision process? Are there intermediary (short-lived) bonds formed during a collision, which are not present any more in the collision products ?
