Inner shell PIFCO spectra have been recorded over the L2,3 edges of
argon and the M4,5 edges of xenon using monochromatic synchrotron
radiation. Fluorescence photons in the 250-1550 Ċ range were detected in
coincidence with ions in various degrees of ionisation. The results are
compared to previous inner shell photoionisation (PI) studies.
Significant differences can be seen when comparing all ions, i.e. from
previous PI work, with those which are left in an excited final state.
Especially interesting effects can be seen in argon around the Rydberg
resonances, and after the L3-edge where the PCI effect is very
prominent.
