Abstract We have measured the ratio of cross sections σ(KL 2,3)/σ(K) for neon for electron impact in the energy range ofE 0=1.5 ... 50 keV via the intensity ofKL 2,3−LLL 2,3 Auger satellite lines relative to the intensity ofKL 1 L 2,3 (3 P) diagram line. The experimental ratio decreases over the full range of energyE 0 which is contrary to an earlier result by Carlson et al. We have also measured the alignment ofKL 2,3 1 P and3 P states via the angular distribution of Auger satellite intensity for the energy rangeE 0=1.5 ... 4 keV, within experimental error we have found a zero alignment. The totalK Auger spectrum, measured forE 0=40 keV and at the magic angle of emission ϑ=54.7°, has been decomposed into its components by using appropriate line shapes distorted by postcollision interaction. Finally, we discussed whether the lines observed at the high-energy side ofKL 2,3−LLL 2,3 Auger satellite lines can be interpreted as structures caused by an angular momentum exchange in the postcollision interaction predicted by Niehaus and Zwakhals.
