Intensity measurement for Kβη satellites in the radiative auger effect

Calculations have been performed on the integral shapes of the K_βη lines, which are long-wave satellites of the K_β1 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 K_α 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 K_βη satellites without stating how they are isolated from the measured spectrum.
