As usual we watched the "Stoertebekker" stage play at Ralswiek on Rügen Island. The stage setups and wardrobes were as awesome as always. They really try to improve on that every year and come up with clever mechanisms to transform the building for the various acts of the play. The script this year left room for desire ;) Nevertheless a happing worth attending

Abstract: The absolute cross sections for the production of X2 and X3 ions following absorption of monochromatized SOLEIL synchrotron radiation by the HX hydride molecular ions (X = S,Cl) are presented as a function of photon energy in the region of the X 2p ionisation thresholds (180 eV and 220 eV for sulphur and chlorine, respectively). The experimental results are interpreted with the help of extensive ab initio density functional theory (DFT) and post-Hartree-Fock configuration interaction calculations including spin-orbit coupling to compute the absorption oscillator strengths of the X 2p core excitations to valence and Rydberg states. In order to account for all the experimental features,the calculations must include vibrational dynamics and spin-orbit coupling. Similar experimental data are also presented for the sulfanyumil H2S molecular ion.
