Image labeling: a graphical interface to correlation in multiparticle ejection dynamics

A novel graphical approach for probing multicomponent collective ejection processes is described. Image labeling provides a visual means for identifying ejection partners and their relative momenta, isolating specific decay channels for detailed study and determining initial electronic and/or molecular geometries prior to ejection. The power of the technique is demonstrated by looking at strong-field multiphoton-induce 3-atom Coulomb explosion spectra.
