Abstract
The Auger group rates and fluorescence yields are presented for Z=35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 83, and 85 for a vacancy in either the 3p shell or the 3d shell. The present calculations have been performed with the nonrelativistic Hartree-Fock-Slater model with the exchange approximation of Herman, Van Dyke, and Ortenburger. The theoretical fluoresence yields can be used in converting the experimental M-shell x-ray production cross sections by protons and α particles to the cross section for M-shell vacancy production.
