Threshold excitation of short-lived atomic inner-shell hole states with synchrotron radiation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The Xe L/sub 3/-M/sub 4/M/sub 5/( /sup 1/G/sub 4/) Auger spectrum, photoexcited in the vicinity of the L/sub 3/ edge, has been measured as a function of photon energy. The nd spectator-electron satellite lines show resonant behavior. The diagram line exhibits the largest (> or approx. =1 eV) post-collision interaction shift yet observed. For comparison with the data, the first fully quantum-mechanical calculation of the post-collision interaction in deep inner-shell Auger decay is performed, based on a resonant scattering approach that involves a complete summation over intermediate L/sub 3/ one-hole states.
