Abstract

S1s photoionization in carbonyl sulfide (OCS), followed by multiple Auger decay is investigated both experimentally and theoretically, by means of photoelectron–ion coincidences. A strong influence of post-collision interaction is observed in the energy shift and the distortion of the photoelectron spectra. The magnitude of this effect depends on the total charge of the ionic fragments, i.e., on the number of electrons emitted during the decay of the inner vacancy. A satisfactory agreement is found between experiment and theory, which allows us to estimate the lifetimes of the various two-hole states of the intermediate OCS2 + ion.
