New Data on Autoionizing States of Ne Induced by Low-Energy Electrons from 45 to 64 eV

The lowest single and doubly excited autoionizing states of neon have been studied using a non-monochromatic electron beam and a high-resolution electrostatic analyzer at incident electron energies from 43.37 to 202 (±0.4) eV at three ejection angles, 40°, 90° and 130°. The 2s2p<sup>6</sup&...

Description
Summary:The lowest single and doubly excited autoionizing states of neon have been studied using a non-monochromatic electron beam and a high-resolution electrostatic analyzer at incident electron energies from 43.37 to 202 (±0.4) eV at three ejection angles, 40°, 90° and 130°. The 2s2p<sup>6</sup>3s(<sup>3,1</sup>S) and 2s2p<sup>6</sup>3p(<sup>3,1</sup>P) as well as the 2p<sup>4</sup>3s3p doubly excited states have been observed and their energy determined. The influence of the PCI effect in the energy region of the 2s2p<sup>6</sup>3s(<sup>3,1</sup>S) states has been investigated. New features in the ejected electron spectra in the low kinetic energy region 3–20 eV at 202 eV incident energy have been observed and assigned.
