We investigate the photodissociation of helium-solvated cesium dimer cations using action spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The spectrum of Cs<sub>2</sub>He<sup>+</sup> shows three distinct absorption bands into both bound and dissociative states. Upon solvation with further helium atoms, considerable shifts of the absorption bands are observed, exceeding 0.1 eV (850 cm<sup>-1</sup>) already for Cs<sub>2</sub>He<sub>10</sub><sup>+</sup>, along with significant broadening. The shift ...[more]
