Abstract

The power and beauty of energy- and angle-resolved two-electron emission in the double photoionization of atoms is demonstrated, concentrating on the particular shapes of the angular correlation patterns of the triple differential cross section. The cases selected are direct double photoionization in helium and neon as well as sequential double photoionization in xenon, both for equal and unequal energies of the emitted electrons.
