It is shown that Stokes doubling of an Auger line takes place when the
frequency of the incoming X-ray photons is scanned near an X-ray abso
rption resonance. The conditions for observing Stokes doubling effects
in Auger spectra are found to depend strongly on the form of the spec
tral function of the incoming X-ray photons. These conditions are quan
tified in the limiting cases of Lorentzian and Gaussian spectral funct
ions.
