Angular anisotropy in resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering of liquid water

• Resonantly excited soft x-ray emission spectra of liquid water have been measured at two different angles relative to the polarization direction of the exciting radiation. The results demonstrate that the emission is much more isotropic than expected for the free water   molecule but that the trends in the remaining anisotropy qualitatively agree. It is found that the two sharp oxygen peaks at high emission energy correspond to states of different symmetry.
