Calculations based on the theory of radiationless resonant Raman scattering are employed in the interpretation of new Xe L3-M4,5M4,5 Auger spectra recorded using synchrotron radiation tuned to energies across the L3 edge. Fits of theoretical line shapes to the spectra are employed in separating intensities due to nd spectator (resonant) and diagram Auger processes. Near-threshold Auger intensity, previously attributed to diagram decay, is found to be due to the large-n spectator lines that result from postcollision-interaction–induced “recapture” of threshold photoelectrons to nd orbitals.
