Oxygen K Edge X-ray-Emission-Threshold-Electron Coincidence Spectrum of CO2

The oxygen K -edge x-ray-emission-threshold-electron coincidence spectrum of CO2 is presented. A two-step model, describing the result as a threshold-photoelectron spectrum free from post-collision interaction effects, predicts the salient features of the measured spectrum. Small discrepancies from the predictions are discussed in terms of threshold ionization dynamics.
