Manifestation of Many-Electron Correlations in Photoionization of theKShell ofN2

Abstract
It is demonstrated theoretically in the random phase approximation (RPA) that due to the intershell many-electron correlations the σ* shape resonance in the photoionization of K shells of the N2 molecule appears not only in the 1σgɛσu channel as it was believed earlier on the basis of single particle calculations, but in both 1σgɛσu and 1σuɛσg channels. As a confirmation of this phenomenon we show that the experimental angular distributions of photoelectrons ejected from fixed-in-space N2 molecules can be reproduced theoretically only after taking into account many-electron correlations.
