In band-like semiconductors, charge carriers form a thermal energydistribution rapidly after optical excitation. In hybrid lead halideperovskites, the cooling of such thermal carrier distributions occurs ontimescales of ~300 fs via carrier-phonon scattering. However, the initialbuild-up of the thermal distribution proved difficult to resolve withpump-probe techniques due to the requirement of high resolution, both in timeand in energy. Here, we use two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy withsub-10fs resolution to directly observe the carrier interactions that lead tothe formation of a thermal carrier distribution. We find that thermalizationoccurs dominantly via carrier-carrier scattering under the investigatedfluences and report the dependence of carrier scattering rates on excess energyand carrier density. We extract characteristic carrier thermalization timesfrom below 10 fs to 85 fs. These values allow for mobilities of up to 500 cm^2V^(-1) s^(-1) at carrier densities lower than 2x10^19 cm^(-3) and limit thetime for carrier extraction in hot carrier solar cells.
