Monochromatized synchrotron radiation near the photoionization threshold was used to produce the 2p/sub 3/2/ /sup -1/ vacancy state in atomic Xe. Deexcitation of the state through L/sub 3/-M/sub 4/M/sub 5/(/sup 1/G/sub 4/) Auger-electron emission was measured. The 5d spectator-electron Auger satellite was observed. The satellite energy exhibits linear dispersion as a function of the photon energy of the exciting radiation. The observed width of the /sup 1/G diagram line decreases by approx.40% at threshold. This radiationless process can thus be construed as the Auger analog of the x-ray resonant Raman effect.
