We present extended NeNePo (negative to neutral to positive) measurements on the ultrafast dynamics in the ground state of neutral, mass-selected Ag3 molecules. A vibrational wave packet in the neutral molecule is created with an ultrashort laser pulse by photodetachment of the excess electron from the corresponding mass-selected anion. The subsequent molecular rearrangement is probed by photoionization after a selected time delay. Complementary to our previous investigations of this process, we now use two-photon photoionization via a resonant state in the probe step. Here, a bound–bound excitation to a well-known state followed by one-photon ionization is used instead of the nonresonant bound/free transition into the ionic continuum. Using radiation with wavelengths near 370 nm for resonant ionization, we observe a fast bending motion of the initially linear Ag3, followed by an ultrafast intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution, interpretable as an intramolecular collision process. The signal sh...
