Conjugate shake-up-enhanced Auger transitions inN2

Abstract
A substantial enhancement of intensity in the high-energy part of the N2 KLL Auger spectrum has been observed at photon energies a few tens of eV above the N 1s threshold. By monitoring the corresponding 1s photoelectron spectrum, we show that the effect is due to the emergence of strong conjugate shake-up satellites. As shown in previous e-2e studies for CO, such Auger spectra are useful in determining the intensity behavior of shake-up satellites in the immediate threshold regions.
