We present the results of a kinematically complete experiment on two-photon double ionization of Ne atoms with intense FLASH radiation at 44 eV photon energy. Employing the Reaction Microscope spectrometer, we were able to detect all three reaction products (a doubly charged ion and two emitted electrons) in coincidence, which ensures that no contributions from the competing processes (single ionization of Ne, ionization of the residual gas etc.) appear in the spectrum, and allows one us to distinguish the events corresponding to the different final states of the Ne2+ ion. Two-electron energy spectra undoubtedly confirm the sequential nature of the ionization process. We present electron angular distributions for the first and the second ionization step, as well as an angular correlation function, and compare them with recent theoretical predictions.
