Angle-resolved M4,5N4,5N4,5 Auger spectra of xenon have been measured near
the Xe 3d threshold by using synchrotron radiation excitation. The angular
anisotropy parameters extracted from the experimental data generally agree
with the recent theoretical results based on multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock
calculations. The angle-resolved measurements have also been employed in or
der to study the character of the resonance structures below the M-4 thresh
old. [S1050-2947(99)01601-7].
