Selective Bond Breaking in CO${}_2^{2+}$ Induced by Photoelectron Recoil

J. Weiherer, N. Melzer, M. Kircher +16

After core-ionization of CO${}_2$, typically an Auger-Meitner decay takes place, leading to the formation of a dicationic molecule that may dissociate into CO${}^{+}$ and O${}^{+}$. We demon…
