Angle-resolved electron spectroscopy of the resonant Auger decay in xenon with meV energy resolution

Abstract

The angle-resolved resonant Auger spectrum of Xe is investigated with a record high meV energy resolution in the kinetic energy region of 34.45–39.20 eV at hν=65.110 eV, corresponding to the resonant excitation of the Auger Xe*4d5/2−16p state. New lines have been observed and assigned in the spectra. The results of previous measurements concerning energies, intensities and angular distribution asymmetry parameters have been refined, complemented and, for some of the lines, corrected.
