Revised and extended analysis of the odd parity configurations of five-times ionized xenon: XeVI

Xenon spectra were recorded in the 300-1240 Angstrom region on a 3 m and a 10.7 normal incidence spectrograph using a modified triggered spark source. The spectrum of five-times ionized xenon (Xe VI) was investigated. The pre vious analysis of the 5s(2)5p,5s5p(2), 5s(2)5d and 5s(2)6s configurations [ V. Kaufman and J. Sugar, J. Opt. sec. Am. B4, 1924 (1987), A. Tauheed et al , J. Phys. B: At. Mel. Opt. Phys. 25, L561 (1992)] was confirmed. Three of the five levels of the 5p(3) configurations [A. Tauheed et al. Div. At. Mel . Opt. Phys. (APS) & DAMP(CAP) joint meeting, Toronto, May 1995] and all th e 5p(3), 5s5p5d and 5s5p6s configurations levels [R. Sarmiento et al., J. P hys. B: At. Mel. Opt. Phys. 32, 2853 (1999)] have been found to be erroneou s. 53 new lines have been classified in the Xe VI spectrum. Twenty nine additional levels belonging to the 5p(3), 5f, 6p and 5s5p5d odd configurations have been established. Hartree-Fock calculations with relat ivistic corrections (HFR) and least-square-fitted calculations (LSF) were c arried out to interpret the spectrum.
