Partial photoionization cross sections and angular distributions for double excitation of helium up to the N = 13 threshold

Partial photoionization cross sections sigmaN(Egamma) and photoelectron angular distributions betaN(Egamma) were measured for the final ionic states He+ (N > 4) in the region between the N = 8 and N = 13 thresholds (Egamma > 78.155 eV) using the cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy technique (COLTRIMS). Comparison of the experimental data with two independent sets of theoretical predictions reveals disagreement for the branching ratios to the various HeN(+) states. The angular distributions just below the double ionization threshold suggest an excitation process for highly excited N states similar to the Wannier mechanism for double ionization.     

Triple differential cross sections for the double photoionization of H2

Triple differential cross sections arising from the break up of the H2 molecule by a single photon are presented. The time-dependent close-coupling technique is used to calculate differential cross sections for various geometries. Excellent agreement is found between current work and recent exterior complex-scaling calculations, confirming, for the first time, the absolute magnitude of the triple differential cross sections. Our calculations also compare favorably with recent synchrotron light source measurements.     

Comment on measuring photoionization cross sections of excited atomic states

The results of the measured absolute photoionization cross section from the 7² P excited states of cesium are reported. The following values have been obtained: (6.2±0.5)×10⁻¹⁸ cm² and (8.8±1.6)×10⁻¹⁸ cm² for the levels 7² P _1/2 and 7² P _3/2, respectively.     

The angular distributions of secondary γ-quanta and the total cross sections for excitation of nuclei by high-energy particles

By making use of a finite energy sum rule (with cutoff energy 4 GeV), the ratio of the residue of the J = 0 fixed pole of neutron Compton scattering to that of proton Compton scattering is found to be about $\text{2}\text{3}$. We also find .     

Fits to new calculations of photoionization cross sections for low-Z elements

Analytical approximations to results of new calculations of partial (i.e. by subshell) photoionization cross sections of elements (2 < Z < 30, Z = 36) are presented which cover the photon energy range from near threshold to 300 keV. The computer program developed by Brysk and Zerby, which is based on the single-electron model and uses screened self-consistent field and Dirac-Slater wave function data furnished by Cromer, Waber and Liberman, was used. Sufficient multipoles were included to calculate the partial cross sections within a few per cent, on the assumed model. Results for several elements are compared with other calculations and measurements of total photoionization cross sections. The results are presented in a form most convenient for calculations of opacities of hot gases.     

Calculation of the differential cross sections of excitation and ionization of a helium atom by electrons

Equations for the amplitudes and differential cross sections of electronic excitation and ionization of a helium atom are derived in the approximation of a frozen ion core. The wave functions of the discrete states are chosen in the form of generalized hydrogenlike orbitals. The radial wave functions of the continuous spectrum are determined by solving the equation of motion numerically. The differential excitation cross sections of excitation of the 2p, 3p, and 4p levels and ionization of a helium atom by electrons are calculated in the energy range up to 50 eV. Estimates are obtained for the nonorthogonal wave functions in the amplitudes of the excitation and ionization processes. It is shown that the given method is more compatible with experiment than the Born method.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 12, pp. 48–57, December, 1994.     

Measurements of double differential cross sections in electron impact ionization of helium and argon

Double differential cross sections (angular distributions and energy loss spectra) have been measured of electrons after ionizing electron collisions with helium at primary energiesE ₀ between 25 eV and about 260 eV and with argon atE ₀=75, 150 and 200 eV. The spectra have been measured with an energy analyzing collector system of constant transmission. It was found that for high collision energies (E ₀≧ 80 eV) the outgoing electrons belong to one of the two energetically well separated groups, either thefast electrons, which are scattered mainly in forward direction or theslow electrons which are distributed isotropically into all angles. At low primary energiesE ₀ no separation into groups is possible. Several findings indicate the qualitative applicability of the binary collision model.
