The nonlinear response of neon atoms to ultraintense, ultrashort x-ray pulses is investigated with the LCLS x-ray free-electron laser. The production of Ne9+ is observed at kilovolt x-ray photon energies below the absorption edge of the Ne8+ ground state and demonstrates a clear quadratic dependence on fluence. Theoretical analysis shows that the production is a combination of direct 2-photon ionization of the Ne8+ ground state and a high-order sequential process involving two 1-photon ionization processes via transient excited states on a time scale faster than the Auger decay. We find that the nonlinear 2-photon ionization cross section is orders of magnitude larger than expected.
