Title: Photoionization of tungsten ions: experiment and theory for W5+

Journal Article · · Journal of Physics. B, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

Experimental and theoretical cross sections are reported for single-photon single ionization of W5+ ions. Absolute measurements were conducted employing the photon-ion merged-beams technique. Detailed photon-energy scans were performed at (67 ± 10) meV resolution in the 20-160 eV range. In contrast to photoionization of tungsten ions in lower charge states, the cross section is dominated by narrow, densely-spaced resonances. Theoretical results were obtained from a Dirac-Coulomb R-matrix approach employing a basis set of 457 levels providing cross sections for photoionization of W5+ ions in the 4ƒ145s25p66s 2D3/2 ground level as well as the 4ƒ145s25p65d 2D5/2 and 4ƒ145s25p66s 2S1/2 metastable excited levels. Considering the complexity of the electronic structure of tungsten ions in low charge states, the agreement between theory and experiment is satisfactory.
