The photon induced Ne⁺ 2p⁴ (³P) 3p ⁴P_3/2–satellite is populated only through autoionization, because it is forbidden in LS-coupling. These autoionization resonances are well known and can be assigned easiliy. Using linear polarized light from BESSY II, high resolution studies applying photon induced fluorescence spectroscopy (PIFS) resolve the finestructure splitting of the Ne 2p⁴ (³P) 3p ²P_3/2,1/2 ns,nd Rydberg series, which decay into the Ne⁺ 2p⁴ (³P) 3p ⁴P_3/2–satellite. Measuring the alignment parameter A₂₀ of the Ne⁺ 2p⁴ (³P) 3p ⁴P_3/2–state, the ns– and nd–series show different values. The experimental results allow to conclude that the autoionization of the ns–electron occurs predominantly through the emission of the s_1/2–partial wave, while for nd–electrons the d_5/2–partial wave dominates.
