Abstract
Final-state trication spectra and electron distributions produced by soft x-ray single-photon triple ionization of rare gas atoms have been obtained by a multiple-coincidence technique using storage-ring synchrotron radiation. The technique uses electron time of flight with ion detection to overcome the problem of high repetition rates in single-bunch operation. A correction needed to the triple-ionization energy of Kr currently listed in standard tables is confirmed, and the method’s ability to examine the three-electron distributions, characterizing the ionization mechanisms and post-collision interactions, is illustrated.
