The high resolution of the spectrometer made possible the detailed study of K, L, M, N + O conversion lines and the K- and L-Auger spectra of Au/sup 199/ with the following results (here omega and a are the fluorescence and Auger yields and f/sub ij/ is the Coster-Kronig transfer probability): K-Auger lines, omega /sub K/ = 0.952 plus or minus 0.003, KLL: KLX: KXY = 1.00: 0.496 plus or minus 3/:KL/sub 2/L/sub 2/: KL/sub 2/L/sub 3/:KL/sub 3/L/sub 3/ =1.00:1.32 plus or minus 0.1:0.85 plus or minus 0.06:0.40 plus or minus 0.03:1.28 plus or minus 0.08:0.76 plus or minus 0.05; L-Auger lines, LMM:LMX:LXY = omega /sub L/ = 0.410 plus or minus 0.04, a (L/sub 1/) = 0.16 plus or minus 0.02, a(L/sub 2/) = 0.46 plus or minus 0.04, omega (L/sub 2/) = 0.32 plus or minus 0.03, and Coster-Kronig yields, f(L/sub 2/L/sub 3/X) = 0.22 plus or minus 0.04, f(L/sub 1/ L/sub 2/X) + f(L/sub 1/L/sub 3/X) = 0.74 plus or minus 0.04. In addition considerable detail was obtained on the HLX and L-Auger fine structure. The results of all of the known L-Auger yield work since 1952 have been tabulated in this paper. The conversion line results are compared and combined with those of two other groups to give an optimum set of relative intensities. From these are obtained for the 51kev transition, alpha (L/sub 1/): alpha (L/sub 2/): alpha (L/sub 3/): alpha (M): 4aa (N): alpha (O) = alpha (L/sub 2/)- alpha (L/sub 3/ ): alpha (M): alpha (N+O)=1.00:0.144 plus or minus 0.0l5:0.830 plus or minus transition, alpha (K): alpha (L/sub 1/): alpha (L/sub 2/): alpha (L/sub 3/): alpha (M): alpha (N + O) = coefficient. In addition, by use of Rose's Tables the 51-kev transition was determined to be 3.3 plus or minus 1 x 10/sup -4/ E2, and the 209-kev transition 0.113 plus or minus 0.01 E2, and the E2 assigmnent of the 158-kev transition was confirmed to better than 1%. The relative gamma- ray intensities are 209 kev: 51 kev: 158 kev = 1.000:0.045 plus or minus 0.002:4.59 plus or minus 0.23. (auth)
