K-shell photoionization of ground-state Li-like boron ions [B]: Experiment and Theory
Absolute cross sections for the K-shell photoionization of ground-state
Li-like boron [B(1s2s S)] ions were measured by employing the
ion-photon merged-beams technique at the Advanced Light Source synchrotron
radiation facility. The energy ranges 197.5--200.5 eV, 201.9--202.1 eV of the
[1s(2s\,2p)P]P and [1s(2s\,2p)P] P
resonances, respectively, were investigated using resolving powers of up to
17\,600. The energy range of the experiments was extended to about 238.2 eV
yielding energies of the most prominent
[1s(2\,n)]P resonances with an absolute accuracy
of the order of 130 ppm. The natural linewidths of the [1s(2s\,2p)P]
P and [1s(2s\,2p)P] P resonances were measured
to be meV and meV, respectively, which compare
favourably with theoretical results of 4.40 meV and 30.53 meV determined using
an intermediate coupling R-matrix method.Comment: 6 figures and 2 table
VUV/EUV ionising radiation and atoms and ions: dual laser plasma investigations
The interaction of ionising radiation with atoms and ions is a key fundamental process. This report concentrates on studies of photoexcitation/photoionisation using laser-produced plasmas as continuum sources and synchronised laser plasma plumes to provide the absorbing atom or ion species. Examples from studies of the interaction of ionising radiation with atoms and ions ranging from few-electron atomic and ionic systems to the many-electron high atomic number actinides are reviewed and illustrate the advantages and limitations of the Dual Laser Plasma technique
