Hi,

The documentation for Hephaestus lists the same paper as you indicated.
(Access by going to Help-Document in Heph.)

Another reference with values tabulated is:
http://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.555595

Natural widths of atomic K and L levels, Kα X‐ray lines and several KLL 
Auger lines
Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data 8, 329 (1979);
M. O. Krause and J. H. Oliver

But I have noticed the values differ between that work and those in 
Heph/earlier work.
Krause and Oliver did not even cite that earlier work.

-R.
