Abstract
Abstract In this paper, a theory of Coulomb explosion of molecules in intense laser fields based on the Auger effect will be presented. We first show how to calculate the rate of Auger process and then show that multiple ionization processes can be induced by the Auger effect alone or by the Auger effect followed by autoionization. For the case of molecules, multiple ionization is in general followed by dissociation.
