CORRELATION SATELLITES IN THE XE N-4,N-5-OO AND KR M(4,5)-NN AUGER-SPECTRA

Correlation satellite lines originating from the strong mixing between 5s(1)5p(5), 5s(2)5p(3)nd (n = 5, 6, 7,...) and 5s(2)5p(3)ms (m = 6, 7 , 8,...) configurations in the final state of the N-4,N-5-O1O2,3 Auger decay of Xe and between 4s(1)4p(5), 4s(2)4p(3)nd (n = 4, 5, 6,...) an d 4s(2)4p(3)ms (m = 5, 6, 7,...) final-state configurations in the M(4 ,5)-N1N2,3 Auger decay of Kr have been studied by means of synchrotron -radiation excited electron spectroscopy and relativistic multiconfigu rational Dirac-Fock calculations. Improvements in experimental and com putational methods have made it possible, for the first time, to resol ve and to assign most of the satellite lines with high accuracy.
