Early angular distribution measurements on the Cd 4d{sup 9}5s{sup 2}5p {sup 3}P{sub 1} autoionizing level did not correspond with those expected from a single level of mixed {sup 3}P+{sup 1}P character. An analysis indicated that the results were consistent with the combined angular distributions of the {sup 3}P{sub 1} level and a previously unknown {sup 1}D{sub 2} even parity autoionizing level at a slightly displaced ejected-electron energy. Recent (e,2e) energy spectra measurements that spanned the 4d{sup 9}5s{sup 2}5p energy region were interpreted with the help of ab-initio structure and plane wave Born amplitude calculations. It was found that the experimental data could be modeled satisfactorily without including a {sup 1}D{sub 2} level close to the {sup 3}P{sub 1} level. The authors will present new calculations which reconcile these apparent contradictions between the angular distributions and energy spectra.
