The intensity evolution of the Cu K{beta}{sub 1,3} and K{beta}{sub 2,5} emission spectra is measured as a function of excitation energy using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectroscopy. The contribution of 1s3d lowbar shake satellites to the Cu K{beta}{sub 1,3} as well as to the Cu K{beta}{sub 2,5} emission spectrum is extracted. Both emission spectra indicate an additional contribution of 1s3p lowbar shake satellites. The intensity evolution of the shake satellites from threshold to saturation is compared to the Thomas model and shows a similar saturation behavior as found for the Cu K{alpha}{sub 1,2} 1s3d lowbar shake satellites, stating that the shake process is independent of the reemission shell. These 1s3d lowbar shake satellites rapidly reach their saturation limit in contrast to Cu 1s2p lowbar and 1s1s lowbar shake satellites. Furthermore, the contribution of the KMN and the KNN radiative Auger satellites to the Cu K{beta}{sub 1,3} and Cu K{beta}{sub 2,5} emission spectra is obtained, respectively. The KNN radiative Auger satellite is shown to play an important role in the interpretation of valence fluorescence spectra.
