Excitation energy dependence in the photoemission satellite structures in solid CO and N2

Abstract
We use the relative intensity of photoemission satellites in the outer core, inner valence region measured as a function of photon energy in order to identify the spectroscopic assignment for each individual satellite. The outer valence satellites show a decrease in intensity relative to the outer valence single particle emission over the excitation energy range from 40 to 140 eV. The 3σ(2σg) derived structures, on the other hand, increase in intensity, measured relative to the outer valence emission as expected from the general behavior of the 3σ(2σg) single particle cross section.
