“…Initial measurements of photoionization cross sections for O + ions [18] and C 2+ ions [20] using the IPB end station were reported in the literature. The ALS group has recently reported detailed experimental and theoretical studies on the Cl-like calcium (Ca 3+ ) ion [26] in addition to a variety of other singly and multiply charged ions, particularly of astrophysical interest, using this same IPB end station: He-like; Li + [27,28], Li-like; B 2+ [29], Be-like; C 2+ [30], B + [31], C 2+ , N 3+ , and O 4+ [22,32], B-like; C + [33], F-like; Ne + [10], N-like ions; O + [18], F 2+ and Ne 3+ [11]. These high-resolution experimental results enable theoretical studies to be benchmarked, so that the resulting data can be used with confidence in various astrophysical applications that utilize modeling codes such as CLOUDY [34,35] and XSTAR [36].…”
