Abstract
The line sharpening effect, one of the characteristics of the Auger re sonant Raman effect when the bandwidth of exciting photons is smaller than the lifetime widths of the corresponding core levels, has been ob served with clarity for the first time. The kinetic energies of the re sonant Auger lines following the 3d --> 5p and 4d --> 6p excitations i n Kr and Xe, respectively, display also linear dispersion when photon energy is scanned over the resonances.
