Angular anisotropies, energies, and relative intensities have been studied for the 1s → 3p resonant KLL spectrum in neon. The resonant excitation of the 1s2p 2 2p 6 3p configuration leads to a multiplet of four levels with J = 0, 1, 2, and an energy splitting ≤ 35 meV which is much smaller than the natural level widths of about 250 meV. Thus, the various states of the multiplet are excited (more or less) coherently. To obtain the angular distribution of the Auger lines, knowledge of the density matrix is required. This matrix includes all information about the specific excitation process, whereas the dynamics of the autoionization is described by the relative intensities and Auger angular parameters A 2 . Multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock wave functions have been used to calculate this set of coefficients in an intermediate coupling scheme including initial and final state correlations. The use of these data in the interpretation of an angular distribution measurement is briefly discussed.
