Absolute single photoionization cross-section measurements for Se{sup +} ions were performed at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory using the photo-ion merged-beams technique. Measurements were made at a photon energy resolution of 5.5 meV from 17.75 to 21.85 eV spanning the 4s{sup 2}4p{sup 3} {sup 4}S{sub 3/2}{sup o} ground-state ionization threshold and the {sup 2}P{sub 3/2}{sup o},{sup 2}P{sub 1/2}{sup o},{sup 2}D{sub 5/2}{sup o}, and{sup 2}D{sub 3/2}{sup o} metastable state thresholds. Extensive analysis of the complex resonant structure in this region identified numerous Rydberg series of resonances and obtained the Se{sup 2+} 4s{sup 2}4p{sup 23}P{sub 2} and 4s{sup 2}4p{sup 21}S{sub 0} state energies. In addition, particular attention was given to removing significant effects in the measurements due to a small percentage of higher-order undulator radiation.
