Using synchrotron-radiation-based angle-resolved photoelectron spectrometry, the Cl 3{ital s}3{ital p}{sup 5}({sup 3}{ital P}{sub 2,1,0}{sup {ital o}}){ital np} and 3{ital s}3{ital p}{sup 5}({sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1}{sup {ital o}}){ital np} autoionizing Rydberg series are studied by monitoring the relative partial photoionization cross sections and asymmetry parameters of the 3{ital p}{sup {minus}1} {ital P}{sub 2,1,0}{sup {ital e}}, {sup 1}{ital D}{sub 2}{sup {ital e}}, and {sup 1}{ital S}{sub 0}{sup {ital e}} ionic states between 21.75 and 27.75 eV. The Rydberg series converging upon the 3{ital s}{sup {minus}1} {sup 3}{ital P}{sub 2}{sup {ital o}}, {sup 3}P{sub 1}{sup o}, and {sup 3}{ital P}{sub 0}{sup {ital o}} thresholds are clearly resolved. Rydberg levels up to {ital n}=14 can be identified in the ({sup 3}{ital P}{sub 2,1,0}{sup {ital o}}){ital np} series, while the ({sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1}{sup {ital o}}){ital np} Rydberg series can be observed up to {ital n}=10.
