Abstract
Auger electron heating of dense matter that is driven by irradiation of solids with intense XUV/X-ray Free Electron Laser radiation permits studying the dielectronic capture channels that are usually closed in standard atomic physics investigations (like, e.g., in accelerators, EBITS, tokamaks, astrophysics). After disintegration of crystalline order dense strongly coupled plasma is formed where dielectronic capture coupled to excited states is identified as the primary population source of autoionizing hole states. We demonstrate that excited states coupling of the inverse Auger effect changes entirely the known picture of dielectronic satellite emission.
