Calculation of Auger rates of Au in average atom model

Auger rates for Au were calculated by quasi-relativistic configuration-averaged method, with the wave functions obtained by Cowan’s codes. Firstly, “configuration-to-configuration Auger rates” for He-like to Dy-like gold were calculated. Then “Auger rates for single electron” for average atom model (AAM) with and without l-splitting were both obtained by averaging the configuration-to-configuration rates. Our data were evaluated through the comparison with other results calculated from more detailed codes, including Cowan’s codes, flexible atomic code and fully relativistic codes. The evaluation shows that most of our data are reliable except those with high orbital quantum number l, which were replaced with valid data obtained by other codes.
