Abstract
The total absorption coefficients, or cross sections, of krypton have been measured with a photoelectric technique in the 600 to 886 A wavelength region. In contrast to most earlier measurements, a helium continuum was used as background rather than a line source, and it was therefore possible to study all wavelengths within the range 600 to 1100 A with a resolution of 0.5 A. With this resolution, it was possible to measure the absorption coefficients of the autoionized lines which belong to the two series p6 1S0 − p5(2p1/2)ns′ and p6 1S0 − p5(2P1/2)nd′ and which occur between the two ionization limits, 4p5 2P3/2 at 886 A and 4p5 2P1/2 at 845 A. At wavelengths below the ionization threshold at 845 A, the ionization continuum was found to be almost constant in intensity, but it showed a slight decrease below 725 A. At the edge of the continuum (845 A), the absorption coefficient was 1370 cm−1 ± 10%.
