Cross sections and photoelectron asymmetry parameters for photoionization of H2O

Abstract

The iterative Schwinger variational method is used to obtain cross sections and photoelectron asymmetry parameters for photoionization of the three outermost valence orbitals (1b1, 3a1, and 1b2) of H2O for photon energies from near threshold to 50 eV. A comparison of these calculated results with available experimental data is encouraging.
