Abstract

The even-parity autoionizing resonance series 5p5np′ [3/2]1, [1/2]1, and 5p5nf′5/2]3 of xenon have been investigated, excited from the two metastable states 5p56s [3/2]2 and 5p56s′ [1/2]0 in the photon energy range of 28000–42000 cm−1 with experimental bandwidth of ̃0.1 cm−1. The excitation spectra of the even-parity autoionizing resonance series show typical asymmetric line shapes. New level energies, quantum defects, line profile indices and resonance widths, resonance lifetimes and reduced widths of the autoionizing resonances are derived by a Fano-type line-shape analysis. The line profile index and the resonance width are shown to be approximately proportional to the effective principal quantum number. The line separation of the 5p5np′ autoionizing resonances is discussed.
