description: The goal of this thesis is the investigation of decay processes in innershell ionised xenon dimers and trimers. To this end, the small clusters were ionised using 100 eV photons from a Free-Electron Laser and the momenta of the created ion fragments and electrons were measured using the Reaction Microscope at FLASH2. Employing an XUV/XUV pump-probe scheme, the timescale to distribute energy or charge throughout the cluster following local excitation was determined to below (186+-6) fs for dimers decaying into Xe^{1+} / Xe^{2+} and (84+-13) fs for trimers decaying into Xe^{1+}/Xe^{1+}/Xe^{1+}. The kinetic energy distributions yield clear evidence that Xe_2^{2+} decays by a slow CT process after bond contraction and Xe_3^{2+*} decays by ETMD(3) before the nuclei can move. Furthermore, we see signatures of frustrated ionisation in Xe_2 dimers.
