Single, double, and triple photoionization of molecules using synchrotron radiation

The recent advances concerning production and dissociation dynamics of multiply-charged molecules using synchrotron radiation are discussed with emphasis on dissociative double photoionization in the valence region. In the determination of the ratio of double to single photoionization, both molecular and dissociative processes are properly included. Kinetic-energy release and anisotropic fragmentation in dissociative double photoionization of carbon monoxide are also discussed.
