Abstract
Synopsis
We present here the different Auger decay paths following 3d inner-shell ionization of Rubidium atom and we observe the peculiar behaviour and correlation effects due to the outer, unpaired 5s electron. This electron can be submitted to shake-up during 3d ionization. Also shake-up and shake-down of the outer electron are observed in the Auger decay. Cascade double Auger decay is the dominant process leading to Rb3+ ion.
