Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy will be applied to follow the dynamics of excess electrons in clusters and liquid microjets.  The cluster experiments will focus on time-resolved radiation chemistry in which we measure the lifetime of the temporary negative ion formed by addition of a low energy electron to a DNA nucleobase.  Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy on liquid water microjets will yield the lifetime of electronically excited hydrated electrons, providing the 'missing link' between experiments on water cluster anions and transient absorption experiments on bulk hydrated electrons.
