The resonance Auger decay of the Xe 4d3/2,5/2-1np, n=7,8 states studied by high-resolution experiment

Abstract
The de-excitation of the resonantly excited Xe 4d3/2,5/2-17p and 4d3/2,5/2-18p states is studied with very high photon and electron energy resolution using the new Finnish beamline at MAX-laboratory, Lund, Sweden. The fine structure of the spectra is resolved with much higher resolution than before. Effects due to shake transitions, initial- and final-state configuration interaction and interference of different decay channels are discussed.
