Abstract

The resonant Auger electron spectra obtained after photoexcitation below the C and N 1s ionization thresholds in the pyrimidine molecule have been measured at several photon energies. The results show the relevance of the localization of the inner hole and of the matching between the symmetries of the intermediate and final states in the decay spectra via participator transitions. The comparison with the Auger electron spectra suggests some assignment for the two-hole-one-particle states reached via spectator transitions. The analysis of the participator decay is supported by state-of-the art density functional theory calculations.
