  We present a rather elaborate theoretical model describing the dynamics of
Neon under radiation of photon energies $\sim 93$ eV and pulse duration in the
range of 15 fs, within the framework of Lowest non-vanishing Order of
Perturbation Theory (LOPT), cast in terms of rate equations. Our model includes
sequential as well as direct multiple ionization channels from the 2s and 2p
atomic shells, including aspects of fine structure, whereas the stochastic
nature of SASE-FEL light pulses is also taken into account. Our predictions for
the ionization yields of the different ionic species are in excellent agreement
with the related experimental observations at FLASH.
