Abstract:
Angle-resolved Auger electron spectra of N2 have been measured with good statistics at photon energies corresponding to the π* resonance and the σ* shape resonance, below and above the N 1s threshold, respectively. Angular anisotropy is observed in both cases, but disappears as expected far above threshold. Satellite Auger transitions also show some angular anisotropy close to the N 1s threshold. This is attributed to the creation and decay of conjugate shakeup initial states, which have non-ground-state symmetry.
