Synopsis
We report experimental observation of "slow" fragmentation from ethylene molecules on nanosecond or even microsecond timescale after their interaction with femtosecond laser pulses. Our results indicate that such fragmentation process originates from meta-stable high-lying vibrational states of ethylene ions.
