Excited or ionized loosely bound atomic or molecular systems like clusters may undergo new interatomic and intermolecular relaxation processes being impossible in isolated systems. Noble-gas clusters are, due to their low chemical reactivity, well suited to investigate such fundamental relaxation processes. In the present work, the formation and decay of double core-holes (DCHs) in the 4d shell of xenon clusters upon photoionization is investigated. DCHs can enhance the chemical shift in molecules, which makes them important in ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for chemical analysis). Two different paths were used to create the double core-holes, namely single-photon double ionization, and via M4,5N4,5N4,5 Auger after single-photon 3d-electron photoionization. Measurements were performed with a multi-electron coincidence technique using a magnetic-bottle-type time-of-flight spectrometer and synchrotron radiation. Here, we present first results of the outlined processes.
