We study the electronic screening mechanisms of the effective Coulomb on-site repulsion in hole-doped Sr(14)Cu(24)O(41) compared to undoped La(6)Ca(8)Cu(24)O(41) using polarization dependent high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering at Cu M edges. By measuring the energy of the effective Coulomb on-site repulsion and the spin excitations, we estimate superexchange and hopping matrix element energies along rungs and legs, respectively. Interestingly, hole doping locally screens the Coulomb on-site repulsion reducing it by as much as 25%. We suggest that the increased ratio of the electronic kinetic to the electronic correlation energy contributes to the local superexchange mediated pairing between holes.
