Calculated Auger transition rates for HF

We report ab initio calculations of Auger transition rates for hydrogen fluoride, using Hartree-Fock molecular orbitals from finite-basis Slater-type-orbitals calculations. Continuum orbitals are calculated as spherical waves in the single-center expanded-molecular potential. Results show reasonable agreement with experiment and with previous calculations for neon. The effect of final-state configuration mixing is discussed, as well as the use of perturbation theory for improving the continuum orbitals.
