LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We propose a model for the triple photoionization of Be in which a core 1s electron absorbs the photon γ + 1s22s2Be → epsilon 1p + 1s2s2Be+ and the valence 2s2 electrons are shaken off into continuum due to the sudden change of the core potential. We decompose the double shake-off amplitude into a single shake-off 2s2nsepsilons and a subsequent electron impact ionization of the doubly charged Be2+ ion epsilons + 1sns Be2+epsilon 2l + epsilon3l + 1s Be3+. The latter process is described by the T-matrix of inelastic electron scattering on the 'semi-hollow' 1sns Be2+ ion in the monopole singlet channel. The convergent close-coupling method is used to evaluate the T-matrix.
