CORE-TO-RYDBERG EXCITATIONS AND THEIR AUGER DECAY IN THE HCL AND DCL MOLECULES

The resonant Anger electron spectra of the HCl and DCl molecules have been measured at the first core-to-Rydberg resonances. The low binding energy region of the spectra has been decomposed into transitions to different bound states and their vibrational progressions. Several tra nsitions have been assigned using the strict spectator model. The tota l ion yield spectrum of HCl in the energy region of the core-to-Rydber g resonances has been recorded and its assignment refined with the hel p of the Anger electron and chlorine 2p photoelectron spectra.
