Abstract

We present a joint experimental and theoretical study of the double differential cross section for the double ionization of helium by absorption of one 179 eV linear polarized photon (100 eV above threshold). We show the energy sharing and the asymmetry parameters in both single-particle coordinates and in Jacobi coordinates. An asymmetric sharing of the electron excess energy and a breakup of the electron pair preferentially parallel to the polarization axis is found. This marks a deviation from the propensity rule favouring perpendicular relative electron motion which has been observed to hold at energies closer to the double-ionization threshold.
