The available body of information on (a) fluorescence, Auger, and Coster-Kronig yields, (b) radiative and radiationless transition rates, (c) level widths, (d) x-ray and Auger line widths, (e) x-ray and Auger spectra, and (f) Coster-Kronig energies has been used to generate an internally consistent set of values of atomic radiative and radiationless yields for the K shell (5 < or =Z< or =110) and the L subshells (12 < or =Z< or =110). Values of fluorescence yields ..omega../sub k/, ..omega../sub 1/, ..omega../sub 2/, ..omega../sub 3/, Coster-Kronig yields ..integral../sub 1/, ..integral../sub 1.2/, ..integral../sub 1.3/, ..integral../sub 1.3/, ..integral../sub 2.3/. Auger yields a/sub k/, a/sub 1/, a/sub 2/, a/sub 3/, and effective fluorescence yields ..nu../sub 1/ and ..nu../sub 2/ are presented in tables and graphs. Estimates of uncertainties are given. Updated and expanded graphs of partial and total widths of K, L/sub 1/, L/sub 2/, and L/sub 3/ levels are presented as well as a reference list of papers published since about 1972.
