Frustrated tunnelling ionization during strong-field fragmentation of D3+

We reveal surprisingly high kinetic energy release in the intense-field fragmentation of D _3 ^+ to D ^+  + D ^+  + D with 10 ^16  W cm ^−2 , 790 nm, 40 fs (and 7 fs) laser pulses. This feature strongly mimics the behaviour of the D ^+  + D ^+  + D ^+ channel. From the experimental evidence, we conc...
