Resonant photoemission has been studied above the carbon 1s ionization thresholds in gas-phase benzene and ethylene. The experimental data for both molecules include relative partial cross section and asymmetry-parameter measurements for the C 1s main line and asymmetry-parameter measurements for one C 1s shake-up satellite in each system. Resonances above the C K edge have been analyzed on the basis of their decay to either the C 1s main line or valence-hole states, and have been tentatively assigned as either shape resonances or doubly excited states according to their observed one-electron or many-electron decay, respectively. The importance of determining the resonant behavior of all available photoemission channels in the proximity of a resonance is thus illustrated.
