We have studied double Auger decay after C 1s → 2π* core-level photo excitation (287.4 eV photons) and after ionization (306 eV photons) using synchrotron radiation in gas phase carbon monoxide. In this experiment the aim is to understand the dissociation pathways during the Auger decay and the photo-electron valence-electron correlation. This is a fundamental correlation yet unexplored, which plays an important role in the understanding of the energy-bond-length correlation of the shape resonance in chemical compounds. Moreover, we want to investigate the role of the initial and final state correlation as well as post collision interaction effects in the emission patterns of the outgoing electrons and thus hunt for a breakdown of the widely accepted 2-step mechanism in small molecules. First results will be presented and discussed.
