Electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD) is a subset of the more general inter-coulombic decay (ICD). In condensed-matter or cluster systems, ETMD competes with other ionization processes such as autoionization (e.g. Auger decay). Using XUV-XUV pump-probe spectroscopy, we observe the competition between ETMD and Auger decay of Xe⁺ (4d_3/2 and 4d_5/2) embedded in water clusters. In particular, we can distinguish between these two similar processes by observing the resulting Xe^N+ ions in addition to time-resolving their femtosecond dynamics. In our experiment using the FERMI FEL at Elettra, two main features differentiating these decays are expected: the charges of the final Xe^N+ ions, and kinetic energy broadening of Auger electrons through post-collision interactions (PCI).
