[en] The angular distribution of the transferred spin polarization of Kr M_4,5N₁N_2,3¹P₁ Auger electrons after primary ionization with circularly polarized light has been measured and the intrinsic parameters δ₁ and ξ₁ have been determined from experimental results. The explicit equation interconnecting the intrinsic parameters for Auger decay from a (d_5/2)^-1 core hole has been derived and is used for a detailed analysis of the transitions in terms of Auger amplitude ratios and phase shift differences. The results indicate that the final ionic state is well described by a ¹P symmetry. Additional constraints imposed on the intrinsic parameters for singlet states prevent unambiguous determination of Auger amplitudes from experiment even in the limiting case of pure LS coupling.
