Abstract

The Auger rates of triply excited Rydberg series are shown to behave rather differently from doubly excited series. It is shown that in hollow atoms the Auger decay rates for Rydberg series of the type 2l2l(')nl(") with n>/=2 are expected to be nearly independent of n, while for doubly excited series of the type 2lnl(') the decay rate in general decreases with increasing n. In addition the ratio between the rates for 2l2l(')nl(") Rydberg series with different l(") values will be fixed and often the ratio will be equal to one.
