The ionization dynamics of molecular hydrogen is studied as a function of
wavelength near 400 nm at intensities up to 5 x 10(14) W/cm2 by monitoring
energy- and angular distributions of both electrons and ions using an
imaging spectrometer. First direct evidence for electrons from
Coulomb-explosion is obtained.
