Non-local charge distribution processes in dense samples like clusters and liquids have recently attracted tremendous attention in atomic and molecular physics. As a result of progress in both theory and experiment a variety of mechanisms was predicted and observed. Among them is radiative charge transfer (RCT), in which the transfer of an electron from a neutral site of a cluster to a doubly charged site is accompanied by photon emission. The occurence of RCT has been experimentally deduced from energy conservation reasons by multi-particle coincidence detection after inner-shell ionization and subsequent Auger decay in noble gas clusters. However, direct observation of the emitted photons has not been reported so far, although this might be an advantageous method to track RCT in dense matter. Here, we report evidence for the first measurement of photons emitted in an RCT process in large neon clusters.
