{\it K}-Shell Photoionization of B-like Atomic Nitrogen Ions: Experiment and Theory [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.0519


Measurements of absolute cross sections for the {\it K}-shell photoionization of B-like atomic nitrogen ions were carried out utilizing the ion-photon merged-beam technique at the SOLEIL synchrotron radiation facility in Saint-Aubin, France. High-resolution spectroscopy with E/$\Delta$E $\approx$ 13,500 was the maximum resolution achieved. We have investigated two photon energy regions: 404 eV — 409 eV and 439 eV — 442 eV. Resonance peaks found in the experimental measured cross sections are compared with theoretical estimates from the multi-configuration Dirac – Fock, R-matrix and empirical methods, allowing identification of the strong 1s $\rightarrow$ 2p and the weaker 1s $\rightarrow$ 3p resonances in the observed {\it K}-shell spectra of this B-like nitrogen ion.
