Abstract
When submitted to an intense laser field, a molecule is first multiply ionized without significant modification of its internuclear distance1,2. Except for the singly charged molecular ions, the multiply charged molecular ions are very instable and they cannot be detected. In fact, the only ions accessible to the experiment are the atomic fragments coming from the dissociation of the molecular ions.
