Abstract

We observed an interference originating from coincidence detection of two indistinguishable electron pairs emitted upon photoionization of 4d electron in Xe. At 89.9 eV photon impact the energy of photoelectron ejected from 4d 5/2 orbital equals energy of Auger electron emitted in decay of 4d3/2 hole into the [5s5p1P] state, and for the same final state the energy of the 4d3/2 photoelectron equals the Auger electron energy in decay of 4d5/2 hole. An angle-integrated coincidence yield as a function of photon energy is measured with the magnetic bottle time-of-flight spectrometer and shows a peak at the expected energy position.
