In atoms and molecules, shakeup satellites, corresponding to internal electronic transitions, are routinely observed using photoelectron and resonant Raman spectroscopy. In particular, shakeup satellites can be observed in the two particle spectrum, i.e., when two holes are left in the final state of an atom after electron emission. Satellite s strength can be strongly enhanced in the presence of a resonant intermediate state. For example, in copper atoms, the incident photon can first excite the core 3p electron to the 4s shell the core hole then decays to the 3d shell through the Auger process (with electron ejected from 3d shell) leaving two 3d holes in the final state [48]. For recent reviews of extensive literature the reader is referred to Refe. [49,50]).
