Angular resolved inner-shell photoionization spectra of randomly oriented and fixed-in-space methane and methyloxirane — •Philipp Demekhin — Institut für Physik und CINSaT, Universität Kassel, Heinrich-Plett-Str. 40, 34132 Kassel

Recent progress in the development of experimental detection techniques enabled a set of new experiments on molecular photoionization in the angular-resolved mode. Interpretation of the results of such experiments requires development of new advanced nonstandard theoretical and computational approaches. In this talk, we first discuss theoretical background of the angular-resolved spectroscopy of molecules, and then consider two recent applications performed by the theoretical methods developed in our group. For core-to-Rydberg excited methane [1], we demonstrate that angular-resolved resonant Auger decay spectra provide very insightful information on the strength of the vibronic coupling effects. For O(1s) ionization of methyloxirane [2], we show that chiral asymmetry (photoelectron circular dichroism) can be significantly enhanced already by fixing one molecular orientation axis.
