Due to the high number of electrons and their interdependency within the electron shells xenon atoms provide a good benchmark system to investigate quantum mechanical correlation effects. For example cascade effects in the de-excitation process can be investigated providing information of the relaxation dynamics of electron correlation effected systems. Typically these cascade effects are observed by electron or ion spectroscopy yielding data about electron systems successively losing electrons. Here we show that it is possible to observe cascade effects with constant electron numbers directly by fluorescence spectroscopy after excitation of Xe I ground state [Kr] 5s2 5p6 1S0 to a doubly excited state [Kr] 5s2 5p4(3P2)nln*l* and subsequent autoionization.
