An investigation of photo-double ionization in benzene

Abstract

Synopsis A photo-double ionization (PDI) coincidence technique has been used to study electron correlation as a function of photon impact energy on Benzene (C6H6). The simultaneous emission of two photoelectrons from the benzene π orbital has been measured using two sets of hemispherical electron energy analysers. Angle resolved single and coincidence photoelectron spectra are reported, providing new data on the PDI mechanism.
