Abstract

Synopsis: The spectator resonant interatomic Coulombic decay (SRICD) following the 2s → 5p excitation of Ne dimers has been examined experimentally and theoretically. The molecular frame angular distributions (MFADs) of the SRICD electrons depend strongly on the direction of the polarization vector of the exciting photon with respect to the molecular axis. We demonstrate that this effect is caused by the scattering of the low-energy SRICD electron on the density of the spectator electron.
