The photon energy dependence of the double K-shell ionization of light atoms is reported. Experimental double-to-single photoionization cross section ratios for Mg, Al, Si and Ca were obtained from measurements of high-resolution x-ray emission spectra. The double photoionization (DPI) cross-sections for K-shell hollow atom production are compared to convergent close-coupling calculations (CCC)...

K-shell double photoionization of Be, Mg, and Ca

Kheifets, A. S. ; Bray, Igor ; Hoszowska, Joanna

In: Physical Review A, 2009, vol. 79, no. 4, p. 042504

We perform convergent close-coupling calculations of double photoionization (DPI) of the K-shell of alkaline-earth metal atoms (Be, Mg, and Ca) from the threshold to the nonrelativistic limit of infinite photon energy. Theoretical double-to-single photoionization cross-section ratios for Mg and Ca are compared with experimental values derived from high-resolution x-ray spectra following the...

Double K-shell photoionization of low-Z atoms and He-like ions

Hoszowska, Joanna ; Kheifets, A. S. ; Berset, Michel ; Bray, I. ; Cao, Wei ; Dousse, Jean-Claude ; Fennane, Karima ; Kavčič, M. ; Kayser, Yves ; Szlachetko, Jakub ; Szlachetko, Monika

In: The European Physical Journal: Special Topics, 2009, vol. 169, no. 1, p. 23-27

We report on the investigation of the photon energy dependence of double 1s photoionization of light atoms and compare the cross sections for hollow atom and He-like ion production. Measurements of the Kα hypersatellite x-ray spectra of Mg, Al, and Si were carried out using the Fribourg high-resolution x-ray spectrometer installed at the ID21 and ID26 beam lines at the ESRF. The...
