Abstract:
We present a uniform, compact and complete set of fit
parameters to the cross sections for all subshells of atoms and ions of
the elements under study. The partial photoionisation cross sections
{sigma}_nl_(E) will be described by the fitting formula (equation 1):
{sigma}_nl_(E)={sigma}_0_xF(E/E_0_) (in Mb),
F(y)=[(y-1)^2^+(y_w_)^2^]y^-Q^[1+sqr(y/y_a_)]^-P^,
where n is the principal quantum number of the shell, l=0, 1, 2
(or s, p, d) is the subshell orbital quantum number, E is the photon
energy in eV, y=E/E_0_; {sigma}_0_, y_w_, y_a_ and P are the fit
parameters, and Q=5.5+l-0.5P.
