We present measurements of the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of the CH3I molecule in the hard-x-ray region near the iodine L2 and L3 absorption edges. We show that dispersive RIXS spectral features that were recognized as a fingerprint of dissociative molecular states can be interpreted in terms of ultrashort natural lifetime of ∼200 attoseconds in the case of the iodine...
