R. Kau et al., LASER PHOTOIONIZATION OF METASTABLE XE-ASTERISK (J=0) ATOMS IN THE RANGE 462-430 NM, Zeitschrift fur Physik. D, Atoms, molecules and clusters, 36(1), 1996, pp. 23-30
Absolute cross sections for photoionization of metastable Xe (5p(5) 6
s' P-3(0)) atoms are presented over the wavelength range 462-430 nm (p
hotoelectron energy epsilon = 0-200 meV), including the 7p'[3/2](1) an
d 7p'[1/2](1) autoionization resonances. In addition the angular distr
ibution of the photoelectrons is reported across the 7p' resonances (e
psilon = 90-180 meV). The experimental data are compared with Hartree-
Fock calculations of the photoionization process.
