Abstract: | We have reformulated the theory of post-collision interaction (PCI) for Auger-decay following inner-shell photoionisation in order to take the time into account with the Auger-electron need to overtake the slow electron. The energy-shift of the Auger-electron due to PCI is calculated by solving in a reasonable approximation the classical equation of motion for the Auger electron. In contrast to the theory of Russek and Mehlhorn we derive analytical expressions for the transition amplitude, the line shape and the line shift of the Auger-electrons. If in our model the Auger electron and the slow electron are treated uncorrelated in direction our analytical expressions agree well with the numerical results of Russek and Mehlhorn. However if we account for directional electron-electron correlations, we show that deviations from the theory of Russek and Mehlhorn are to be expected. The possibility of detecting these deviations is discussed. |
