A new energy and angular electron analyzer ArTOF (Angular Resolved Time of Flight) is described. The analyzer is based on simultaneous measurement of flight times and angles in an advanced electron lens system. In angular modes the new analyzer combines an increase in transmission by almost three orders of magnitude with improved resolution, in comparison to standard state-of-the-art electron spectrometers. In this report we describe some design principles and we give a review of calibration and alignment procedures necessary for the use of the ArTOF on a synchrotron radiation facility. Our program scripts to handle the large datasets are also discussed. Furthermore we give a broad description of the new research fields that benefit from the use of the ArTOF and give a short summary of the first results of angle resolved photoemission measurement with ArTOF using the single-bunch X-ray pulses from the BESSY II storage ring facility.

Resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra excited at the 1 sigma(g) -> 3 sigma(u) resonance in gas-phase O-2 show excitations due to the nuclear degrees of freedom with up to 35 well-resolved discrete vibronic states and a continuum due to the kinetic energy distribution of the separated atoms. The RIXS profile demonstrates spatial quantum beats caused by two interfering wave packets with different momenta as the atoms separate. Thomson scattering strongly affects both the spectral profile and the scattering anisotropy.
Resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering spectra excited at the dissociative 1 sigma(g) -> 3 sigma(u) resonance in gas-phase O(2) are presented and discussed in terms of state-of-the-art molecular theory. A new selection rule due to internal spin coupling is established, facilitating a deep analysis of the valence excited final states. Furthermore, it is found that a commonly accepted symmetry selection rule due to orbital parity breaks down, as the core hole and excited electron swap parity, thereby opening the symmetry forbidden 3 sigma(g) decay channel.
