摘要
Configuration-average distorted-wave calculations are carried out for the electron-impact single ionization of Xe24+. Contributions are included from direct ionization of the 3s, 3p, 3d and 4s subshells and from indirect ionization via 3s -> nl, 3p -> nl and 3d -> nl excitations followed by autoionization. Branching ratios are found for single versus double ionization of the 3s and 3p subshells and for autoionization versus radiative decay of all 3l -> nl excitations. Additional distorted-wave and R-matrix calculations find resonant-capture double-autoionization contributions to be quite small. The total ionization cross section for Xe24+ is found to be dominated by indirect excitation-autoionization contributions, especiallynear the single-ionization threshold. An approximate 15% reduction in the total ionization cross section is found due to the radiative decays included in the branching ratios.
