Abstract

Spatial separation of water dimers from water monomers and larger water clusters through the electric deflector is presented. A beam of water dimers with 93% purity and a rotational temperature of 1.5 K was obtained. Following strong-field ionization using a 35 fs laser pulse with a wavelength centered around 800 nm and a peak intensity of 10 <superscript>14</superscript> W/cm <superscript>2</superscript> , we observed proton transfer and 46% of ionized water dimers broke apart into hydronium ions H <subscript>3</subscript> O <superscript>+</superscript> and neutral OH.
