Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large class of molecules that consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Each PAH contains at least two rings, of which at least one is aromatic. These molecules play an important role in astrochemistry since they are estimated to account for about 10% of all galactic carbon. PAHs can also form in combustion reactions of fossil fuels, which lead to the presence of PAHs in the Earth's atmosphere. Here, they act as environmental pollutants, and they impact the health of the population. In the interstellar medium (ISM) and planetary atmospheres, PAHs are subjected to high-energy particles. Therefore, investigating PAHs' radiation and photoinduced chemistry is a compelling study with broad implications. Upon passing near the molecule, fast-charged particles, such as electrons or alpha particles, will create a short, strong electric field comparable to the atomic scales. To mimic such strong-field excitation of molecules, we can apply strong-field laser pulses in the laboratory environment.
