Abstract
Systematic mapping of high-lying even-parity levels (low-lying configuratio ns) of the samarium atom below the first ionization potential was carried o ut with a two-step photoexcitation and photoionization method; Five hundred seventy-one new energy levels were discovered in the region 34 850-45 300 cm(-1), and an unambiguous assignment of angular momenta was given to most of the energy levels in accordance with the electric dipole selection rules .
