Taking advantage of the pulsed character of the synchrotron-radiation light, an original experimental setup combining an electron analyzer with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer without angular discrimination, operated with a strong pulsed electrostatic field, has been developed. This allows high counting rates for multiple coincidence measurements Auger electron photoion photoion coincidences. The focus is on the experimental setup; new results obtained with core exited N2O are shown and it is demonstrated how to get more insight into the relaxation dynamics by the selection of the excited state combined with the selection of the final state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
