Spectral and decay characteristics of emission originating from radiative recombination of valence electrons with outermost $5p$Cs–core holes in K$_{1-x}$Cs$_x$Cl ($x=0.02 \div 0.20$) and Rb$_{1-x}$Cs$_x$Cl ($x=0.02 \div 0.18$) crystals are studied by means of time resolved luminescent spectroscopy methods using pulse $X$–ray and synchrotron excitation. The observed features of the emission excitation spectra, i.e. a substantial increase of the emission yielded in the $5p$Cs–core region and the spectrum structure in the range of excitation of $3p$K– and $4p$Rb–core states are discussed from the viewpoint of the peculiarities of radiative and Auger–decay processes of both the admixture and host core excitations.
