About universal scalings in double K-shell photoionization

Atomic Physics 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We discuss the problem of the universal scalings in the double ionization of atomic K-shell electrons caused by absorption of a single photon. In particular, we envisage the following questions: Under which conditions and up to which accuracy the universal scalings are realized? Does it make sense to talk about different physical mechanisms in the double-ionization process? Finally, we present also the theoretical analysis of recent experimental measurements performed on neutral atoms. As a testing ground, QED perturbation theory is employed.
