M-shell satellite structure of W X-ray emission lines

The M-shell satellite structure of W X-ray emission lines excited by electr on bombardment is investigated by a high resolution single crystal spectrom eter, and the obtained structure is further compared with calculated transi tion energies obtained by the Relativistic Density Functional method. The t ransition hole states situated in the N- and O-shells-due to Coster-Kronig transitions-correspond to the parts of the spectra situated in the close ne ighbourhood of the diagram transition (0.7-4.4eV).
