The products of radiation induced chemical reactions are determined by rapid primary processes such as energy transfer, thermalization and solvation. Ultrafast photoionization experiments on liquid water demonstrate that these initial events occur on time scales <5ps and involve a complicated interplay between electronic relaxation and vibrational energy redistribution. These experiments also show...
