Molecular Reaction Dynamics Team

Chemical reactions are primarily driven by ultrafast changes of an electronic state of a molecule or molecular complexes. This research team make use of advanced light sources available at RIKEN (ultrafast lasers, free electron lasers, and synchrotron radiation) to perform advanced photoelectron spectroscopy and imaging to elucidate chemical reaction mechanisms at the level of ultrafast electron dynamics.
