The xenon L-subshell Coster-Kronig (CK) transition yields were revisited via high-resolution measurements of the Lα 1,2 (L 3 − M 4,5 ) and Lβ 1 (L 2 − M 4 ) x-ray emission lines. The L x-ray spectra were measured employing a Johansson-type curved crystal spectrometer and energy-tunable synchrotron radiation. The CK yields were derived from the relative L x-ray intensity jumps at the L edges by fitting the fluorescence intensities as a function of the photon energy to the L-subshell photoionization cross sections. The latter were obtained from the measured L-edge photoabsorption spectrum. Values of 0.118 ± 0.029, 0.383 ± 0.037, and 0.096 ± 0.016 were found for the f 23 , f 13 , and f 12 CK yields, respectively. Thanks to high resolution, the L 1 fluorescence yield of 0.059 ± 0.002 was also determined from intensity ratios of the well-resolved Lβ 4 (L 1 − M 2 ) and Lβ 1 (L 2 − M 4 ) lines.
