Photoionisation of Be-like and Li-like atomic oxygen{\it K}-shell photoionisation of O$^{4+}$ and O$^{5+}$ ions : experiment and theory

Absolute cross sections for the {\it K}-shell photoionisation of Be-like (O$^{4+}$) and Li-like (O$^{5+}$) atomic oxygen ions were measured for the first time (in their respective {\it K}-shell regions) by employing the ion-photon merged-beam technique at the SOLEIL synchrotron-radiation facility in Saint-Aubin, France. High-resolution spectroscopy with E/$Δ$E $\approx$ 3200 ($\approx$ 170 meV, FWHM)was achieved with photon energy from 550 eV up to 670 eV. Rich resonance structure observed in the experimental spectra is analysed using the R-matrix with pseudo-states (RMPS) method. Results are also compared with the screening constant by unit nuclear charge (SCUNC) calculations. We characterise and identify the strong $\rm 1s \rightarrow 2p$ resonances for both ions and the weaker $\rm 1s \rightarrow np$ resonances ($ n \ge 3$) observed in the {\it K}-shell spectra of O$^{4+}$.

K-Shell Photoionization of Singly Ionized Atomic Nitrogen: Experiment and Theory

Absolute cross sections for the K-shell photoionization of C-like nitrogen ions were measured by employing the ion-photon merged-beam technique at the SOLEIL synchrotron radiation facility in Saint-Aubin, France. High-resolution spectroscopy with E/$Δ$E $\approx$ 7,000 was achieved with the photon energy from 388 to 430 eV scanned with a band pass of 300 meV, and the 399.4 to 402 eV range with 60 meV. Experimental results are compared with theoretical predictions made from the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) and R-matrix methods. The interplay between experiment and theory enabled the identification and characterization of the strong 1s $\rightarrow$ 2p resonances observed in the spectra.
