Abstract
Auger Line Shape Analysis from solids with open bands has been made considerable progress in recent years. Calculations on Graphite and Pd were encouraging, and new developements in the formalism look promising. However, it must be recognized that the current theory remains much more phenomenological and less predictive and reliable than it is for closed bands. In some sense, the comparison with experiments is more succcesful than our real understanding deserves. This is hardly surprising, in view of the much more fundamental character of the problems involved. An attempt will be made to assess the present state of the theory and foreshadow the directions of future research.
