Angular distribution and spin polarization of Auger transitions of the Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe excited states

The angular distribution parameters α2 and spin-polarization parameters β2 of the Auger transitions are presented for transitions in photoexcited Ne*, Ar*, Kr* and Xe* atoms with open shells. Matrix elements are calculated by the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method. The wave functions of the initial and final states of the Auger transitions are calculated with allowance for relaxation effects. The one-electron wavefunctions of the continuous spectrum for an Auger electron are obtained using the single-configuration Fock-Dirac method. The matrix elements are calculated by using intermediate coupling. The resulting values of the energy positions, angular distribution parameters are compared with experimental data and other theoretical results
