Anglar distributions of molecular photofragments emitted followingK-shell excitation of N2and O2

Abstract
Angle-resolved photoion spectroscopy has been applied to molecular fragments emitted after Auger decay following photoexcitation of the N2 and O2 K-shell in the gas phase. Prominent anisotropic angular-distributions of the fragment ejection, depending strongly on the photon energies, have been observed in the vicinity of the K-shell ionization thresholds.
