Inner-shell photoabsorption of atomic and molecular ions — •Stefan Schippers — Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen

Recent experimental work on the photoabsorption of atomic and molecular ions will be reviewed that has been carried out at the photon-ion merged-beams setup PIPE [1], a permanently installed end station at the XUV beamline P04 of the PETRA III synchrotron radiation source operated by DESY in Hamburg, Germany. Selected results [2] on, e.g., single and multiple L-shell photoionization of low-charged iron ions and on single and multiple K-shell photoionization of negatively and (multiply) positively charged carbon and silicon ions will be discussed in astrophysical contexts as well as inner-shell photoabsorption of molecular ions. These experimental results bear witness of the fact that the implementation of the photon-ion merged-beams method at one of the world’s brightest synchrotron light sources has led to a breakthrough for the experimental study of inner-shell photoabsorption processes with ions.
