From 6 to 12 eV above threshold ([h-bar]omega=85, 91 eV), total as well as differential DPI cross sections were observed to critically depend on the initial state and, in particular, on the alignment of the 2p orbital with respect to the VUV-light polarization, whereas no effect is seen for IE. The alignment sensitivity is traced back to dynamical electron correlation at threshold. | | Classification / Thesaurus: | 32.80.Fb | | External Publication Status: | published | | Document Type: | Article |
