Photo-Ionization in the Soft X-Ray Range: Angular Distributions of Photoelectrons and Interpretation in Terms of Subshell Structure

Abstract

The problem of determining the individual subshell contributions in atomic photoabsorption is discussed. The general form of the angular distribution of photoelectrons in the soft x-ray range for polarized and unpolarized incident photons is considered. Calculations of the subshell contributions within a central-field model and the angular distribution of electrons from these contributions for photoabsorption in Kr in the energy range 200-1500 eV are presented and found to show good agreement with the experimental results of the preceding paper.
