Ionization/dissociation processes of methyl-substituted derivates of cyclopentanone in intense femtosecond laser field

- Methyl-cyclopentanone ionization/dissociation is studied in strong fs laser fields.
- Mass spectra are analyzed to understand the effects of methyl substitution.
- Generalized-KFR theory calculations are performed for the photoionization mechanism.
- Ab initio/RRKM calculations are used to unravel the photodissociation patterns.
