Angular distribution of decay electrons from the 6presonance excitations in xenon

Angular distributions for the electrons produced by the decay of the 4d{→}6p excitations in xenon have been measured using an undulator radiation source. The resolution employed in the experiment has allowed us to derive separate {β} values for features which had not been isolated previously, as well as to determine {β} values for previously unreported lines. Comparison is made between existing experimental and theoretical results. {} 1996 The American Physical Society.
