We present the results of kinematically complete XUV-pump/IR-probe experiments on nitrous oxide (N2O) using a reaction microscope. A train of attosecond XUV pulses, produced via high harmonic generation in an Ar-filled gas cell, covers the energy range from 20 to 50 eV, in which the molecule can either be singly ionized or directly doubly ionized. In addition, the excited cation N2O+* in a state near the double ionization threshold can either dissociate into a charged and a neutral fragment or it autoionizes into N2O2+, which subsequently leads to a Coulomb explosion into two charged fragments that are detected in coincidence (N2O2+N++NO+ or N2O2+N2++O+). We investigated the influence of the additional IR-field on the double ionization yield. Both decay channels are enhanced but respond differently [1]. In addition we present the corresponding photoelectron energy spectra, which show indications for the autoionization process and its dependence on the delay and the kinetic energy release of the respective ions.
