Using ultrafast extreme ultraviolet pulses, we performed a direct measurement of the relaxation dynamics of neutral superexcited states corresponding to the nlσg(c 4 Σ − u ) Rydberg series of O2. An XUV attosecond pulse train was used to create a temporally localized Rydberg wavepacket and the ensuing electronic and nuclear dynamics were probed using a time-delayed femtosecond nearinfrared pulse. We investigated the competing predissociation and autoionization mechanisms in superexcited molecules and found that autoionization is dominant for the low n Rydberg states. We measured an autoionization lifetime of 92±6 fs and 180±10 fs for (5s, 4d)σg and (6s, 5d)σg Rydberg state groups respectively. We also determine that the disputed neutral dissociation lifetime for the ν = 0 vibrational level of the Rydberg series is 1100 ± 100 fs.
