Beyond its environmental significance, a detailed understanding of the electronic structure and ionization dynamics of ozone is essential for modeling atmospheric, ionospheric, and astrochemical processes. In the present work, we substantially extend the experimental and theoretical characterization of ozone into the regime of valence double photoionization.
