Understanding the mechanisms of multiphoton absorption and secondary relaxation processes in the XUV and X-ray regime is a prerequisite for all applications of short-wavelength free-electron lasers (FELs), e.g. for single-molecule imaging. Here, we present an electron-ion coincidence study on multiphoton ionization of krypton at 210 eV performed with a reaction microscope at the FEL facility FLASH. The production mechanisms for all observed charge states are analyzed by evaluating intensity-dependent Krn+ ion spectra and the corresponding electron spectra. Even the highest charge state, Kr11+, is found to be produced by sequential multiphoton ionization, which is in line with theoretical predictions (Rudek et al., Nat. Phot. 6, 858-865 (2012)).
