Electron energy analyzer
Electrostatic deflection analyzer with three spherically concentric grids allows production of electrons within a small volume at the center of the inner sphere. By applying a retarding potential between the middle and inner spheres, the energies of the electrons can be measured

Dissociative and double photoionization of CO2 from threshold to 90 A
The molecular photoionization, dissociative photoionization and double photoionization cross sections for CO2 were measured from their onsets down to 90 A by using various combinations of mass spectrometers (a coincidence time-of-flight mass spectrometer and a magnetic mass spectrometer) and light sources (synchrotron radiation, and glow and spark discharge). It is concluded that the one broad peak and the three shoulders in the total adsorption cross section curve between 640 and 90 A are caused completely by dissociative ionization processes. Several peaks observed in the cross section curve for the total fragmentation CO(+)3, O(+) and C(+) are compared with those in the photoelectron spectrum reported for CO2
Absolute photoionization cross sections of atomic oxygen
The absolute values of photoionization cross sections of atomic oxygen were measured from the ionization threshold to 120 A. An auto-ionizing resonance belonging to the 2S2P4(4P)3P(3Do, 3So) transition was observed at 479.43 A and another line at 389.97 A. The experimental data is in excellent agreement with rigorous close-coupling calculations that include electron correlations in both the initial and final states
Angular distribution of photoelectrons at 584A using polarized radiation
Photoelectron angular distributions for Ar, Xe, N2, O2, CO, CO2, and NH3 were obtained at 584 A by observing the photoelectrons at a fixed angle and simply rotating the plane of polarization of a highly polarized photon source. The radiation from a helium dc glow discharge source was polarized (84%) using a reflection type polarizer
On the ionization potential of molecular oxygen
The ionization potential of O2 was measured by the technique of high resolution photoelectron spectroscopy taking into account the influence of rotational structure on the shape of the vibrational bands. A value of 12.071 + or - .001 eV (1027.1 + or - 0.1 A) was found for the ionization potential. A lowering of the ionization potential caused by a branch-head when delta N = -2 gave an appearance potential for ionization of 12.068 + or - .001 eV (1027.4 + or - 0.1 A)
Vibrational intensity distributions for continuum photoionization of oxygen
Results from measurements of vibrational intensity distributions for continuum photoionization of O2 are reported. Measurements were made using the 584 and 304 A He lines. The photoionization cross section of O2 shows a substantial dip in magnitude over a 20 A band centered about 590 A; thus the possibility exists that a 584 A photoelectron spectrum of O2 includes an autoionized contribution and the vibrational intensity distributions may not correspond to those of continuum ionization. Oxygen photoionization cross section shows no structure around 304 A and purley continuum ionization is expected
Partially autoionizing states of atomic oxygen
The Rydberg states 3d' (3Po)2,1,0 and 3s'' (3Po)2,1,0 and the inner shell transition 2s 2p5 (3Po)2,1,0, which are forbidden to autoionize on the basis of LS coupling, were observed in emission spectroscopy and in autoionization spectra produced in the photoelectron spectrum of atomic oxygen
