Vibrational structure of theO22+ground state observed by threshold photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy

Abstract
Double ionization of O2 induced by photons from a synchrotron radiation source has been studied in an electron-electron coincidence experiment. A new technique has been developed wherein only electrons with near zero energy are detected by use of the penetrating field method. In this way high sensitivity and energy resolution have been attained allowing ninteen vibrational levels of the O22+ ground state to be observed and molecular parameters of this state to be obtained.
