UPS from Adsorbate Core Levels.—As outlined above, an out-going photoelectron in its final state is a super-position of two coherent contributions a direct wave whose amplitude and symmetry are determined by the intra-atomic transition at the emitting site and an indirect wave generated by repeated scattering of the direct wave by the local atomic environment. It was suggested by Liebsch that this final-state scattering should lead to angular variations in the photoemission spectrum and would be examined best in core-level emission, which involves the simplest possible initial 

An alternative method for detection of photoelectron diffraction is based on
