(color online) Comparisons between the theoretical and experimental populations of the Hg3+ after the double Auger decay of ionized (a) and (b) states. Values of total population (DA) are obtained by summing the contributions of the cascade (CDA) and direct (DDA) processes. The experimental measurements are obtained by multielectron coincidence spectroscopy.[18]
