Abstract

We discuss some of the exciting new experimental possibilities offered by soft X-ray undulators as a radiation source. In addition to the general discussion we present two specific experiments on isolated molecules for which the undulator source is extremely important. The first one of these experiments is a coincidence experiment between Auger electrons and ions generated in the events following the absorption of a soft X-ray photon by an isolated molecule. This gives a detailed picture of the involvement of individual valence electrons into the molecular bond. The second experiment is a study of the electronic decay of a resonant core electron excitation into a bound molecular orbital. The decay of these states yields new information about the localization of the molecular valence orbitals around the atom where the core hole was created.
