Wereport photoionization measurements that help us interpret mechanisms leading tothe control of the branching ratio for resonantly enhanced, two-color,two-photon ionization experiments. We measure intermediate state populations and photoelectronangular distributions to explore the ionization dynamics. Our measurements supportthe interpretation that ac Stark shifts are the primary mechanismof the product state control previously observed in a similarexperimental setup. We discuss the role of interference in theionization continuum and the effect of the ac Stark shifton the product state control.
