Correlated decay processes in helium nanodroplets — •Marcel Mudrich1, Nikolay Shcherbinin1, Aaron LaForge1, and Robert Richter2 — 1Physikalisches Institut, Uni Freiburg — 2Elettra Synchrotrone Trieste
Helium nanodroplets are commonly used as inert nanometer-sized cryo-matrices for spectroscopy of embedded atoms, molecules, and clusters. Upon irradiation with extreme-ultraviolet synchrotron radiation, though, ultrafast energy and charge exchange processes between embedded species and helium atoms or even among the helium atoms can occur. In this talk we give examples of such correlated decay processes: Interatomic Coulombic decay of pure helium droplets and Auger decay of embedded rare gas atoms.
