We have studied Xe+4d inner-shell photoionization in a direct experiment on
Xe+ ions, merging an ion and a photon beam and detecting the ejected electrons
with a cylindrical mirror analyzer. The measured 4d photoelectron spectrum is
compared to the 4d core valence double ionization spectrum of the neutral Xe
atom, obtained with a magnetic bottle spectrometer. This multicoincidence
experiment gives access to the spectroscopy of the individual Xe2+4d−15p−1
states and to their respective Auger decays, which are found to present a
strong selectivity. The experimental results are interpreted with the help of
ab initio calculations.1\. Auflag
