Calculations have been performed on the integral shapes of the Kβη lines, which are long-wave satellites of the Kβ1 lines, for Cl, Ti, and Fe, where allowance has been made for interference between states in the 2p−1 and 3p−2εp configurations. The calculations show that these satellites represent short-wave branches of the Kα lines strengthened by the 3p-1s transition with simultaneous M electron ejection. The strong interference between the amplitudes of these processes in the final state means that it is in principle quite impossible to speak of the intensities of the Kβη satellites without stating how they are isolated from the measured spectrum.
