Abstract
We have measured the double photoionization cross section of sodium atoms between the first 2s22p5 2P double photoionization (52.4 eV) and 2s-single 1.3S photoionization thresholds (71.0 eV). We have also observed a Fano profile into the double ionization continuum resulting from the interference between the one-step direct double photoionization process and the resonant double Auger decay of core-excited neutral sodium in the 2s → 3p resonance region. Profiles of absolute partial and total cross sections have been obtained in all important channels. The Fano and Starace parameters, in particular a width of 0.23 eV, have been determined, allowing full characterization of the resonance.
