Atomic photoionizationAfter a brief historical review, this work discusses in detail the experimental techniques available for the investigation of photoionization processes, presents results on typical atoms, and examines some of the problems yet unsolved; in general, the discussion is concerned primarily with the photoionization of atoms in the spectral range from ionization threshold to about 100 A. The examination of experimental techniques treats such topics as light sources, monochromators and spectrographs, absorption and photoionization cells, branching-ratio studies, and electron-impact 'photoionization'. Photoionization measurements are discussed with reference to total and partial photoionization cross sections.
