Disentangling conical intersection and coherent molecular dynamics in methyl bromide with attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy

Excited-state molecular dynamics may be too complex to be resolved by femtosecond spectroscopic studies. Here the authors resolve the competing pathways in the excited state dynamics of methyl bromide by attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, from excitation to fragmentation.
