We resonantly excite the $K$ series of O$^{5+}$ and O$^{6+}$ up to principal quantum number $n=11$ with monochromatic x rays, producing $K$-shell holes, and observe their relaxation by soft-x-ray emission. Some photoabsorption resonances of O$^{5+}$ reveal strong two-electron--one-photon (TEOP) transitions. We find that for the $[(1s,2s)_1,5p_{3/2}]_{3/2;1/2}$ states, TEOP relaxation is by far stronger than the radiative decay and competes with the usually much faster Auger decay path. This enhanced TEOP decay arises from a strong correlation with the near-degenerate upper states $[(1s,2p_{3/2})_1,4s]_{3/2;1/2}$ of a Li-like satellite blend of the He-like $Kalpha$ transition. Even in three-electron systems, TEOP transitions can play a dominant role, and the present results should guide further research on the ubiquitous and abundant many-electron ions where electronic energy degeneracies are far more common and configuration mixing is stronger.

The x-ray energies and transition rates associated with single and double electron radiative transitions from the double K hole state $2s2p$ to the $1s2s$ and $1s^{2}$ configurations of 11 He-like ions ($10!leq!Z!leq!47$) are evaluated using the full y relativistic multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method. An appropriate electron correlation model is constructed with the aid of the active space method, which allows the electron correlation effects to be studied efficiently. The contributions of electron correlation and the Breit interaction to the transition properties are analyzed in detail. It is found that the two-electron one-photon (TEOP) transition is correlation sensitive. The Breit interaction and electron correlation both contribute significantly to the radiative transition properties of the double K hole state of He-like ions. Good agreement between the present calculation and previous work is achieved. The calculated data will be helpful to future investigations on double K hole decay processes of He-like ions.
The double electron E1 transition energies, probabilities, and oscillator strengths between the $2s2p^{n}$ and $1s^{2}2p^{n-1}$($1!leq!nleq!6$) configurations of Xe$^{q+}$($47!leq!qleq!52$) ions with different spectator electrons have been calculated based on the multi-configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method. A reasonable electron correlation model is constructed with the aid of the active space method. The finite mass of nuclear, Breit interaction and QED effects have also been included. The calculated results are in good agreement with the available data. The theoretical spectra of different spectator electrons of the double K hole state have been predicted. The spectator electron effects on the transition spectra have been analyzed in detail. The present results will be helpful for analyzing the high energy X-ray spectrum observed from the interaction between high energy highly charged ions and the surface.
We report on the observation of discrete structures in the electron energy distribution for strong field double ionization of Argon at 394 nm. The experimental conditions were chosen in order to ensure a non-sequential ejection of both electrons with an intermediate rescattering step. We have found discrete ATI (above-threshold ionization) like peaks in the sum energy of both electrons, as predicted by all quantum mechanical calculations. More surprisingly however is the observation of two ATI combs in the energy distribution of the individual electrons.
A new mechanism of nuclear excitation via two-photon electron transitions (NETP) is proposed and studied theoretically. As a generic example, detailed calculations are performed for the $E1E1$ $1s2s,^1S_0 rightarrow 1s^2,^1S_0$ two-photon decay of He -like $^{225}$Ac$^{87+}$ ion with the resonant excitation of the $3/2+$ nuclear state with the energy 40.09(5) keV. The probability for such a two-photon decay via the nuclear excitation is found to be $P_{rm NETP} = 3.5 times 10^{-9}$ and, thus, is comparable with other mechanisms, such as nuclear excitation by electron transition and by electron capture. The possibility for the experimental observation of the proposed mechanism is thoroughly discussed.
Energies of two-electron one-photon transitions from initial double K-hole states were computed using the Dirac-Fock model. The transition energies of competing processes, the K$alpha$ hypersatellites, were also computed. The results are compared to experiment and to other theoretical calculations.
