Zusammenfassung:
The present status of double photoionisation studies is comprehensively reviewed. Recent findings are described which shed some light on the transition from the correlated motion of the two electrons near threshold to the shakeoff-like behaviour at higher photon energies. For extremely high photon energies, where Compton scattering becomes the dominant process, new results for the He2+/He+ ratio between 6 and 120 keV are presented. The results conirm the prediction of Bergstrom et al. that the ratio reaches an intermediate maximum between 12 and 15 keV, before declining towards the asymptotic limit. Furthermore, this asymptotic limit seems not to be reached even at energies as high as 120 keV.
