TheoreticalK-Shell Auger Rates, Transition Energies, and Fluorescence Yields for Multiply Ionized Neon

Abstract

X-ray rates, Auger group rates, and $K$-shell fluorescence yields are presented for variously ionized states of neon. The nonrelativistic Hartree-Fock-Slater atomic model, with the exchange approximation of Herman-Van Dyke-Ortenburger, is used. The x-ray and Auger transition energies were obtained by the adiabatic method. The theoretical results presented here are applicable to the analysis of defect configurations which may be produced in a heavy-ion-neon collision. It is shown that the commonly used statistical scaling procedure to obtain the $K$-shell fluorescence yield for defect configuration leads to significant errors for neon.
