We investigate a simple scheme for autocorrelation measurement of an xuv pulse. It is based on double ionization of He. We have found that, in a certain photon energy range, the detection of doubly charged positive ions instead of energy-resolved photoelectrons is sufficient for autocorrelation, which greatly simplifies the detection system for practical use.
