    Title: "Non-adiabatic dynamics in strong field molecular ionization"

    Abstract: I will describe a series of experiments that study strong field molecular ionization with coincidence velocity map imaging as a function of pulse duration and pulse shape.  The measurements, in conjunction with electronic structure and quantum dynamics calculations, reveal a subtle interplay between electronic and nuclear dynamics underlying the population of multiple states of the molecular cation.
