Jar. Samson et al., PRECISION-MEASUREMENTS OF THE ABSOLUTE PHOTOIONIZATION CROSS-SECTIONSOF HE, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 27(5), 1994, pp. 887-898
Precision photoionization cross sections for He have been measured fro
m threshold to 120 eV with an accuracy ranging from 1 to 2%. In additi
on, a critical review of the published data has been made and recommen
ded photoionization cross sections from the ionization threshold to 8
keV are presented with an estimated uncertainty of +/- 10% above 500 e
V. The effect of coherent (Rayleigh) and incoherent (Compton) scatteri
ng is discussed.
