K. Soejima et al., FIRST OBSERVATION OF CIRCULAR-DICHROISM IN ANGULAR-CORRELATION PATTERNS FOR 2-STEP DOUBLE AND DIRECT DOUBLE PHOTOIONIZATION OF XENON, Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 32(3), 1998, pp. 368-372
Angular correlation patterns of N-5-O23O23 S-1(0) Auger electrons in c
oincidence with 4d(5/2) photoelectrons in the two-step double photoion
ization of xenon and those of two outgoing 5p photoelectrons in coinci
dence with each other in the direct double photoionization of xenon we
re measured with a circularly polarized photon beam from a helical und
ulator. Circular dichroism was clearly observed in both cases. For the
two-step process, the experimental data were in good agreement with t
he theoretical prediction based on the two-step model.
