Abstract
A weak Anger transition at 870.5 +/- 0.3 eV has been observed in neon for e lectron impact energies above the double K-shell ionization threshold (1863 eV). The Auger energies and transition rates identify the transition as th e strongest Auger hypersatellite decay channel, KK-(KL23L23D)-D-2, of the h ollow 1s(o) S-1 state of Ne2+. The production cross section of the Is(o) S- 1 state by electron impact was determined for energies up to three times th e threshold ionization energy and found to agree reasonably with the binary encounter calculations.
