  Intense X-ray photo-absorption from short and intense pulses by a molecule
triggers complicated electron and subsequently ion dynamics leading to
photo-electron spectra which are difficult to interpret. Illuminating
fullerenes offers a way to separate out the electron dynamics. Moreover, the
fullerene cage confines spatially the origin of photo and Auger electrons.
Together with the sequential nature of the photo processes at intensities
available at X-ray free electron lasers, this allows for a remarkably detailed
interpretation of the photo-electron spectra as we will demonstrate. The
general features derived can serve as a paradigm for less well-defined
situations in other large molecules or clusters.
