Abstract

Super Coster-Kronig (SCK) decay following Kr 3p photoionization has been investigated using a multielectron coincidence method. It is found that the SCK pathway occupies 23% of the 3p1/2 decay and only 2.5% of the 3p3/2 decay. The significant difference between the two 3p spin-orbit levels mainly results from the difference in energetics: almost all SCK transitions are energetically allowed in the 3p1/2 decay but only SCK transitions to the F3 levels of 3d-2 are possible in the 3p3/2 decay. Subsequent decay processes from the SCK-final 3d-2 states are investigated, where a maximum of fivefold electron coincidences are analyzed.
