Scientific paper

The determination of elemental abundances in astrophysical nebulae is highly dependent on the accuracy of atomic data. Absolute single photoionization cross sections for Se^+, Se^2+, Se^3+, Se^5+, Xe^+ and Xe^2+ have been measured at the ALS at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory using the merged-beams technique. All ions except Se^5+ were measured from the metastable region to at least 10 eV above the direct ionization threshold. Theoretical calculations for Se^5+ indicated strong resonances above 100 eV would dominate, therefore this region was explored for this ion. Rydberg series are identified for each ion and the experimental results are compared to theoretical photoionization cross section calculations using fully relativistic Dirac R-matrix code (DARC). This research was supported by both the DOE and NASA.
