Abstract

A determination of the angular distribution parameter beta of the atomic chlorine 3s photoelectrons over the photon-energy range from 29 to 70 eV has been carried out using electron spectrometry in conjunction with synchrotron radiation. Our results confirm the basic theoretical predictions that beta, for s-subshell photoionization in open-shell atoms, is in general term and photon-energy dependent. in contrast to closed-shell atoms where beta is always 2 nonrelativistically. However, our measurements of beta for the Cl+ 3s(P-1.3) channels demonstrate that significant details art: not handled well by simple Hartree-Fock theory.
