Dirac-Fock calculations ofK−,L−, andM-shell fluorescence and Coster-Kronig yields for Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn, and Uuo

Abstract

In this work, we calculated the fluorescence and Coster-Kronig yields for the $K$ shell and the $L$ and $M$ subshells of Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn, and Uuo $(Z=118)$, using a Dirac-Fock model which provides a better description of the electron-electron interaction than previous approaches, and is suitable to handle superheavy elements. The results are compared with available data from other authors. In what concerns Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn $K$ shells, the obtained results are in very good agreement with the adopted values of Krause [25] and with experiment when available. For the $L$ subshells, our results are in line with existing ones. For the $M$ subshells and for all shells of Uuo there are no previous experimental and theoretical results to compare to our calculations.
