Summary, in English

The L23 x-ray-emission spectra of Cu and Zn have been recorded using tunable-synchrotron-radiation-excited fluorescence spectroscopy. The satellite structure was studied in detail by varying the excitation energy from threshold to several hundred eV above. Strong satellites are observed which can unambiguously be associated with the decay of multiply excited states. This disproves recent claims of a breakdown of the sudden approximation in this regime.
