Abstract
In the following the theoretical framework introduced in the previous chapter is applied to a real case of ultrafast organic photodynamics: the Norrish Type-I reaction in acetone. Particular attention is payed to how the wave packet dynamics is expressed in the time-resolved photoionization signal and it will become clear that a close connection between theory and experiment is crucial for even a qualitatively correct interpretation of experimental results. The simulations presented in this chapter have been published in Ref. I.
