Abstract

C KVV and O KVV Auger spectra of the CO molecule in the gas phase are calculated by the discrete-variational Xα method using two different methods to calculate energies of the Auger transitions. It is shown that inclusion of angle-dependent functions in the set of approximating functions has a larger effect on the values of the Auger transition energies than the expansion of the basis to the double-zeta type.
