Calculations based on the theory of radiationless resonant Raman scattering are employed in the interpretation of new XeL{sub 3}-M{sub 4,5}M{sub 4,5} Auger spectra recorded using synchrotron radiation tuned to energies {ital across} the L{sub 3} edge. Fits of theoretical line shapes to the spectra are employed in separating intensities due to nd spectator (resonant) and diagram Auger processes. Near-threshold Auger intensity, previously attributed to diagram decay, is found to be due to the large-n spectator lines that result from postcollision-interaction{endash}induced {open_quotes}recapture{close_quotes} of threshold photoelectrons to nd orbitals. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
