U. Griesmann et al., THE TOTAL PHOTOABSORPTION CROSS-SECTION OF STRONTIUM ATOMS IN THE RANGE OF THE 5PNS DOUBLY-EXCITED STATES, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 27(17), 1994, pp. 3939-3944
Measurements of the total photoabsorption cross section of strontium a
toms in the range between the 4d and 5p series limits have been carrie
d out using monochromatized synchrotron radiation from the DORIS II st
orage ring at HASYLAB, DESY and a thermionic diode detector. The absol
ute cross section data confirm recent R-matrix calculations of the pho
toabsorption cross section. A recently reported difference between R-m
atrix calculations and high resolution measurements of the photoabsorp
tion cross section near the 5p1/2 series limit is investigated.
