Multiple-ionization satellites in the L 2, 3 Auger spectra of argon-like molecules

L _{2, 3} Auger spectra of all argon-like molecules (HCl, H₂S, PH₃, SiH₄) have been calculated with inclusion of the multiple ionization satellites. The Auger transition probabilities were calculated with inclusion of the ligand electron density, multiplet splitting, final-state configuration interaction, and spin-orbit splitting of the initial 2p level. The theoretical integrated intensities of the shake-off and shake-up satellites (“with a spectator”) in the L _{2, 3} Auger spectra of argon-like molecules make up 8.2–10.4% of the total Auger spectrum intensity.
