Auger Electron
The Auger electron is emitted caused by the Auger effect. The kinetic energy of the Auger electron depends on the type of atom and the chemical environment. The energy of the Auger electron is in the range between 280 eV (electron volt) and 2100 eV. These different energy levels are utilized for chemical analysis.

Auger Effect
A lower orbited electron leaves the atom - the reoccupation of this vacancy by a higher orbited electron leads to the emission of energy which in turn leads to the emission of a second electron, the Auger electron.

Internal Conversion
In the internal conversion process the multipole electric field of the nucleus of an atom, in an electromagnetically excited state, react with an orbit electron. With enough energy the electron is ejected (internal conversion electron). The energy of the conversion electron depends on the energy transferred from the nucleus reduced by the shell specific binding energy. This process competes with gamma emission. The refilling for the vacancy left by the internal conversion electron occurs through the Auger effect, a higher orbit electron take place and x-ray or an Auger electron will be emitted.
The atomic number of the atom gets not changed by internal conversion.

Auger, Pierre Victor
Auger, Pierre Victor described for the first time the process of the internal transformation of x-rays in photoelectrons.

Conversion Electron
The conversion electron is a low shell electron emitted for the energy change of the atom by internal conversion.
