Measurements of the K X-ray absorption and emission edges of Li are reported. They were made with the same spectrometer at the NBS storage ring and serve to establish a 0.1 eV separation between the edges with no possibility of instrument calibration error. These results are compared with recent theories of Almbladh and Mahan describing the effects of incomplete phonon relaxation about the core hole. It is concluded that these theories give a satisfactory explanation of the data.
