Energetic X-ray Processes in Atoms

Abstract

Properties of highly stripped ions have been computed relativistically in intermediate coupling with configuration interaction, including quantum electrodynamic effects. Charged-particle ionization cross sections have been calculated, including effect of autoionizing resonances on electron-impact excitation rates. Dielectronic recombination rates have been calculated. An extensive computation of relativistic Auger radial matrix elements has been performed; the results can be used to calculate radiationless transition rates in multiply ionized atoms and are expected to be very useful for the computation of Auger rates in molecules. Keywords: Atomic physics, Atomic inner shell processes.
