Abstract
A multiphoton ionization process of He in intense extreme ultraviolet free-electron laser fields is investigated in a photon energy range of hv=20.1-20.8eV using shot-by-shot photoelectron spectroscopy. A photoelectron peak resulting from sequential double ionization of He due to five-photon absorption is observed around hv=20.4. Shot-by-shot analysis of photoelectron spectra shows that two-photon resonance to the He+(2s2S) state from the He+ ground state is responsible for the substantial enhancement of five-photon double ionization. Effective cross sections for two-photon absorption between the 1s and 2s states of He+ and for one-photon absorption from the He+ 2s state are obtained.
