The decay behavior of excited atomic systems is influenced by their environment such that new possible relaxation processes might emerge when changing from isolated particles to van-der-Waals bound rare gas clusters. The latter represent prototype systems, which allow the study of fundamental processes as a first step toward more complex structures. Here, we investigate an interatomic variant of the so-called Two-Electron-One-Electron (TEOE) process, also referred to as three-electron Interatomic or Intermolecular Coulombic Decay (ICD). After 4d photoionization of Xe and following Auger-Meitner decay, a two-vacancy 5s05p6 state will be prepared. Subsequently, the simultaneous filling of both inner-valence holes leads to the emission of a third electron from a neighboring atom. Multi-coincidence spectroscopy will be used to analyze the characteristic electron signal.
