Determination of the lifetime width of the argon L1-hole state

• The width of the argon 2s level was experimentally obtained from x-ray emission-spectroscopy (2.25+/-0.15 eV) and x-ray photoelectron-spectroscopy (XPS) (2.25+/-0.05 eV) measurements. A theoretical value of 1.85 eV was obtained by a Green's-function calculation. A high-energy satellite located 2.7+/-0.2 eV above the L1-M2,3 x-ray emission transition was confirmed and identified as the 2s(-1)3p-1-->3p-2 double-hole transition. The XPS measurement of the argon 2s ionization energy gave a value of 326.25(5) eV.
