Redetermination of partial and differential photoionization cross sections of L-subshells of neon

Abstract

Absolute partial and differential photoionization cross sections of the 2s and 2p subshells of neon have been redetermined in the 30–300 eV photon energy range using recent experimental results for the relative double photoionization cross section, the 2s/2p single photoionization cross section ratio and the absolute total photoabsorption cross section. Results are presented in graphic form and, for the 2p subshell, also in tabular form for reference purposes. Uncertainties of the latter values are less than 10 % and can be reduced by future more accurate determinations of the total photoabsorption cross section and. at low energies, of the 2s/2p cross section ratio.
