Many electron effects in photoelectron core spectra are now well-established phenomena. This paper will be centered around experiments where the tunability of synchrotron radiation has been utilized to study: 1. Photoelectron emission enhancement of the 5s and 5p partial photoionization crossections at and above the photoionization threshold for the 4d subshell of Ba. These many-electron effects can be studied as the photon energy is continuously tuned through the ionization thresholds of inner core levels; 2. The plasmon loss intensity as a function of the excitation energy of the photons for a few free-electron like elements (Al, Si). A strong enhancement is observed in the 5s and 5p partial crossections at and above the 4d ionization threshold in Ba. These resonances cannot be described in the framework of a one-electron model but are strong many-body effects. However, the more advanced many-body calculations can reproduce the 4d excitation as well as the enhancement in the outer 5s and 5p shells quite accurately. The intensity of the bulk plasmon loss structure was studied over a broad photon energy range from core levels of Si and Al. A clear trend is observed when the excitation energy is tuned from the ionization threshold and up. 50 references, 5 figures.
