Resonance fluorescence is the emission of photons scattered off by atoms and molecules driven by a near-resonant external electric field; it is a cornerstone of x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray quantum optics. For intense x rays like those provided by existing and upcoming XFELs, the stimulated excitation and recombination at the Rabi frequency can compete with radiative and Auger decay. The signature of Rabi flopping in the electron spectrum of resonant Auger decay was studied for a two-level model of neon cations driven strongly by LCLS light tuned to the 1s  2p−1 → 1s−1  2p transition at 848 eV [1, 2]. Because of the advantages of photon detection over electron detection, we perform a time-dependent study of the spectrum of resonance fluorescence for neon cations, by considering two different scenarios, i.e. the chaotic pulses presently generated at LCLS and the coherent pulses which are going to become available in the near future via seeding techniques.
