N4,5OO resonance Auger spectra of Xe studied with selective excitation by synchrotron radiation

Abstract
The high-resolution N4,5OO normal Auger spectrum and resonantly excited Auger and autoionization spectra of Xe have been investigated using synchrotron radiation to ionize or excite the 4d levels. Excitation of the 4d electrons to the 4d95s25p66p resonance states results in the decay processes with a 6p spectator or participator electron. Besides the previously reported strong resonance Auger peaks, the whole resonance Auger spectrum has been studied in detail. Energies and intensity distributions of different processes are calculated and compared with experiment.
