Abstract:
Auger photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy (APECS) is a technique that provides us with unique information and a chance to gain insight into the significance of processes in the Auger spectra of atoms in solids. Hence it is a great aid in our understanding of the Auger process in atoms where electron correlations are strong. Despite the first demonstration of the technique more than 20 years ago, there are still very few working experiments. The reasons why, and the ways forward are discussed.
