A space-focussed time-of-flight mass spectrometer was used to study the relaxation dynamics of HCl, DCl, H{sub 2}S, and D{sub 2}S following excitation of a K-shell electron using monochromatic synchrotron radiation. For resonant excitation, dissociation of neutral hydrogen atoms is found to be a significant decay channel, raising the issue of how effectively dissociation competes with Auger decay in the relaxation of these deep core levels.
