    The 1s(-2) Auger hypersatellite spectrum of argon is studied experimentally and theoretically. In total, three transitions to the final states 1s(-1)2p(-2)(S-2(e),D-2(e)) and 1s(-1)2s(-1)(S-1)2p(-1)(P-2(o)) are experimentally observed. The lifetime broadening of the 1s(-2) -> 1s(-1)2p(-2)(S-2(e),D-2(e)) states is determined to be 2.1(4) eV. For the used photon energy of h nu = 7500 eV a KK/K ionisation ratio of 2.5(3) x 10(-4) is derived. Generally, a good agreement between the experimental and present theoretical energy positions, linewidths, and intensities is obtained

    We have built an x-ray spectrometer in a von Hamos configuration based on a highly annealed pyrolytic graphite crystal. The spectrometer is designed to measure x-ray emission in the range of 2–5 keV. A spectral resolution E/ΔE of 4000 was achieved by recording the elastic peak of photons issued from the GALAXIES beamline at the SOLEIL synchrotron radiation facility

    Argon KLL Auger spectrum: Initial states, core-hole lifetimes, shake, and knock-down processes

    Get PDF
    State-of-the-art argon KLL Auger spectra measured using photon energies of hÎœ=3216 and 3400 eV are presented along with an Ar [1s] photoelectron spectrum (square brackets indicate holes in the respective orbital). The two different photon energies used for measuring the Auger spectra allow distinguishing between the shake transitions during the Auger decay and the Auger transitions of the photoelectron satellites. A complete assignment of satellite transitions is provided, partially based on configuration-interaction calculations. In addition, Ar [1s3(s,p)]nâ€Člâ€Č→[2p2(1D2)] transitions are observed, which can be explained by knock-down transitions leading to a direct exchange of angular momentum between the excited electron and the Auger electron. The lifetime broadenings of the Ar [2s] single-core-hole state and the [2s2] and [2s2p] double-core-hole states are also determined, confirming previously observed trends for double-core-hole states

    Nous avons Ă©tudiĂ© expĂ©rimentalement la relaxation d'un systĂšme atomique ou molĂ©culaire aprĂšs l'ionisation en couche interne par un photon X (2-12 keV). Les diffĂ©rents processus de dĂ©sexcitation ont Ă©tĂ© Ă©tudiĂ©s par la mesure en coĂŻncidence du vecteur vitesse des Ă©lectrons et des ions Ă©mis permettant d'avoir accĂšs aux corrĂ©lations vectorielles entre l’émission Ă©lectronique et les ions formĂ©s. Des nouveaux rĂ©sultats expĂ©rimentaux sur l’argon combinĂ©s avec le modĂšle thĂ©orique dĂ©veloppĂ© par nos collaborateurs ont montrĂ© l'existence effective du transfert de moment angulaire dĂ» au PCI entre le photoĂ©lectron et l’électron Auger. Ensuite, la dynamique de fragmentations Ă  trois corps de CS2 a Ă©tĂ© interprĂ©tĂ©e Ă  l’aide d’une combinaison des observables gĂ©omĂ©triques et cinĂ©matiques. Nous avons montrĂ© qu’il est possible de sĂ©parer les diffĂ©rents types de fragmentation dans le cas oĂč il s’agit d’une voie mixte. Puis, nous avons montrĂ© la prĂ©sence des voies concertĂ©es massives aprĂšs la dissociation de CH3I. Nous avons Ă©galement observĂ© la formation des ions multiplement chargĂ©s oĂč la charge totale induite est arrivĂ©e jusqu’à +15 par l’absorption d’un photon unique. Enfin, la comparaison des donnĂ©es expĂ©rimentales avec des simulations de modĂšle d’explosion coulombienne nous a permis d’estimer le dĂ©placement moyen de la molĂ©cule durant la relaxation.We experimentally studied the relaxation of atomic and molecular systems following core-shell photoionization in tender X-ray regime (2-12 keV). The various processes of de-excitation have been studied by the coincidence measurements of the velocity vector of emitted electrons and ions allowing access to the vector correlations between the electrons and ions. New experimental results on argon combined with theoretical model developed by our collaborators have shown the effective existence of angular momentum transfer due to the Post-collision interaction (PCI) between the photoelectron and the Auger electron. Then, the CS2 three-body fragmentation dynamics was interpreted using a combination of geometric and kinematic observables. We have shown that it is possible to separate the different types of fragmentation in case of the mixed pathway. We also showed the presence of massive concerted pathways after the dissociation of CH3I molecule. Moreover, we have observed the formation of multiply charged ions where the total charge induced has reached +15 by single photon absorption. Finally, the comparison of experimental data with Coulomb explosion model allowed us to estimate the average displacement of the molecule during relaxation
