Angular distribution of Auger electrons for (M3 → N2, 3N2, 3), (M4 → N4, 5N4, 5), (M4 → N1N3), and (M4, 5 → O2, 3O2, 3) in a xenon atom

The angular distribution of Auger electrons is considered, and the angular distribution anisotropy parameter alpha(2) for (M-3 --> N2N3), (M-3 --> N3N3), (M-4 --> N1N3), (M-4 --> N4N5), (M-4 --> N5N5), and (M-4,M- 5 --> O2, 3O2, 3) transitions in a xenon atom is calculated. The matrix elements are evaluated by the nonrelativistic Hartree-Fock method with LS coupling, as well as by the relativistic Hartree-Fock method with jj coupling (single-configuration approximation) and intermediate coupling (multiconfiguration approximation).
