Abstract
The Coulomb explosion of ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ in laser pulses of 50 fs and intensity of $3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{16}{\mathrm{W}/\mathrm{c}\mathrm{m}}^{2}$ has been investigated using an ion momentum-imaging technique to determine the shape of the exploding molecule. The molecule is found to straighten substantially during the ionization process with the bend distribution at a maximum between $130\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ and $180\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}.$
