In the detection unit, Auger electrons are multiplied and the signal sent to data processing electronics.

Collected Auger electrons are plotted as a function of energy against the broad secondary electron background spectrum.

Another critical quantity that determines yield of Auger electrons at a detector is the electron impact cross-section.

Like internal conversion electrons, Auger electrons also emerge in a sharp energy peak.

These last reactions involve Auger electrons of specific energies.

When Auger electrons have lower energies than primary photoelectrons, they have shorter ranges.

Iron-55 is also a source for Auger electrons, which are produced during the decay.

The remaining 12% is accounted for by lower-energy Auger electrons and a few photons from other, minor transitions.

The Auger electrons can be applied in electron capture detectors for gas chromatography.

The internal conversion and Auger electrons cause little damage outside the cell which contains the isotope atom.
