The B-spline Breit-Pauli R-matrix method is used to investigate the photoionization of Fe7+ from the ground and metastable states in the energy region from ionization thresholds to 172 eV. The present calculations were designed to resolve the large discrepancies between recent measurements and available theoretical results. The multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method in connection with B-spline expansions is employed for an accurate representation of the initial-and final-state wave functions. The close-coupling expansion includes 99 finestructure levels of the residual Fe8+ ion in the energy region up to 3s23p54s states. It includes levels of the 3s23p6, 3s23p53d, 3s23p54s, and 3s3p63d configurations and some levels of the 3s23p43d2 configuration which lie in the energy region under investigation. The present photoionization cross sections in the length and velocity formulations exhibit excellent agreement. The present photoionization cross sections agree well with the Breit-Pauli R-matrix calculation by Sossah et al. and the TOPbase data in the magnitude of the background nonresonant cross sections but show somewhat richer resonance structures, which qualitatively agree with the measurements. The calculated cross sections, however, are several times lower than the measured cross sections, depending upon the photon energy. The cross sections for photoionization of metastable states were found to have approximately the same magnitude as the cross sections for photoionization of the ground state, thereby the presence of metastable states in the ion beam may not be the reason for the enhancement of the measured cross sections.

Abstract. Relative cross sections for the valence shell photoionisation (PI) of 2 S ground level and 2 D metastable Ca + ions were measured with high energy resolution by using the ion-photon merged-beams technique at the Advanced Light Source. Overview measurements were performed with a full width at half maximum bandpass of ∆E = 17 meV, covering the energy range 20 eV -56 eV. Details of the PI spectrum were investigated at energy resolutions reaching the level of ∆E = 3.3 meV. The photon energy scale was calibrated with an uncertainty of ±5 meV. By comparison with previous absolute measurements the present experimental high-resolution data were normalised to an absolute cross-section scale and the fraction of metastable Ca + ions that were present in the parent ion beam was determined to be 18±4%. Large-scale R-matrix calculations using the Dirac Coulomb approximation and employing 594 levels in the close-coupling expansion were performed for the Ca + (3s 2 3p 6 4s 2 S 1/2 ) and Ca + (3s 2 3p 6 3d 2 D 3/2,5/2 ) levels. The experimental data are compared with the results of these calculations and previous theoretical and experimental studies.
Spectral lines of the magnetic-dipole transition between the 3d 2D3⁄2, 5⁄2 levels of K-like Kr17+, Zr21+, Nb22+, Mo23+, and Ru25+ ions were measured in a compact electron beam ion trap. By means of dedicated calibration methods, the transition wavelengths of Kr17+, Zr21+, and Mo23+ ions reduce uncertainties by at least one order of magnitude and the wavelengths of Nb22+ and Ru25+ ions are measured for the first time at a few ppm level. In addition, the fine-structure energy splittings were systematically calculated using the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) method combined with the relativistic configuration interaction approach. The contributions of the core-valence and core-core electron correlations, the Breit interaction and QED effect were discussed in detail. The results show that it is essential to include deep core-valence correlation of L-shell and core-core valence correlation of 3p subshell to obtain an agreement better than 0.15% with the existing experimental values. The calculation model can be performed to predict the wavelength within a high accuracy for a wide range of potassium-like ions.
