Photoelectron and Auger electron asymmetries: Alignment ofXe+2D52by photoionization

Abstract
Angular distributions of photoelectrons from the Xe4d subshell, and N4,5OO Auger electrons, have been measured using synchrotron radiation. The 4d asymmetry parameter exhibits strong oscillations with energy, in agreement with several theoretical calculations. The Auger electrons show large asymmetries due to alignment of Xe+ by photoionization.
