The dominant pathway of radiation damage begins with the ionization of water. Thus far, however, the underlying primary processes could not be conclusively elucidated. Here, we directly study the earliest steps of extreme ultraviolet (XUV)-induced water radiolysis through one-photon excitation of large water clusters using time-resolved photoelectron imaging. Results are presented for H<sub>2</sub>O and D<sub>2</sub>O clusters using femtosecond pump pulses centered at 133 or 80 nm. In both excit ...[more]
