Two-Center Interference in Valence Photoionization of N2 and O2 — •Markus Braune1, Markus Ilchen2, Sanja Korica1, Andre Meißner1, Lokesh Tribedi1, Sascha Deinert2, Leif Glaser2, Frank Scholz2, Peter Walter2, Jens Viefhaus2, and Uwe Becker11Fritz-Haber-Institut, 14195 Berlin — 2DESY, 22607 Hamburg

Cohen and Fano derived their famous formula for the oscillation of the partial cross sections of homonuclear diatomic molecules in 1966 [1]. The oscillatory behavior in the valence photoionization of N2 and O2 which they presented as experimental evidence turned out to be basically an intensity variation due to a shape resonance rather than a signature of coherent emission from two emitter sites. The oscillation period of a real Cohen-Fano type oscillation depends on the internuclear distance and extends over a broad energy range as has been proven many years later for the 1s core photoionization of H2 [2] and N2 [3]. Most recently, we analyzed the valence photoionization of N2 and O2 used as an example by Cohen and Fano by means of angular resolved photoelectron spectroscopy in a collaboration with DESY. We present first data of Cohen-Fano oscillations concerning outer valence partial cross sections and angular distribution asymmetry parameters. The results are compared with recent theoretical calculations [4].
