Theoretical Auger and photoionization studies for open-shell atoms and ions

Abstract

In the last few years, the Ratip package has been found useful for studying the properties of atoms and (highly charged) ions within rather arbitrary configurations. Here, the latest extensions to this code are reviewed which help calculate several Auger and photoionization parameters, including cross sections, angular coefficients as well as correlation functions for the emitted electrons. In addition, a number of recent case studies on the electron spectra of resonantly excited noble gases and open-shell atoms are briefly summarized.
