Furthermore, for l = 1, although the exponent does not change, the coefficient is significantly altered. This modification of sigma(nl)(omega) is due to the interchannel interaction between ns photoionization channels and l not equal0 channels in the atom. As a result, for the photoionization of l not equal0 electrons, the single-particle approximation is never correct in the omega-->infinity limit. This has important consequences for sum rule calculations.

The reflection of photoelectron waves by the C 60 shell leads to profound oscillations in the photoionization cross section such that the Xe giant resonance is transformed into four strong peaks. Similarly, the angular anisotropy parameters, both dipole and nondipole, are also modified. The method of calculation is based on the approximation of the C 60 shell by an infinitely thin bubble potential that leaves the sum rule for the 4 d -electrons almost unaffected, but noticeably modifies the dipole polarizability of the 4 d-shell.

We calculate the photoionization-with-excitation to photoionization ratios R nl and R n = ⌺ l R n... more We calculate the photoionization-with-excitation to photoionization ratios R nl and R n = ⌺ l R nl for atomic helium and positive heliumlike ions at intermediate values of the photon energies. The final-state interactions between the electrons are included in the lowest order of their Sommerfeld parameter. This enables us, in contrast to purely numerical calculations, to investigate the roles of various mechanisms contributing beyond the high-energy limit. The system of two bound electrons is described by the functions obtained by the correlation function hyperspherical harmonic method. For the case of heliumlike ions we present the highenergy limits as a power expansion in the inverse charge of the nucleus. We analyze the contribution of excitation of states with nonzero orbital momenta to the ratios R n . In the case of helium our results for R n are in good agreement with those of experiments and of previous calculations.

The distributions obtain local maxima at small values of the recoil momenta. This agrees with earlier predictions and recent experimental data. Angular correlations which reach the largest value for "back-to-back" configuration of photoelectrons are also obtained.

The QFM mechanism is important in the kinematical regions where the two-electron system can absorb a photon without participation of the nucleus. The QFM leads to the complicated shape of the double photoionization spectrum curve, providing the breakdown of the nonrelativistic high energy asymptotic of the double-to single photoionization ratio. Calculation of the QFM contribution requires a consistent theoretical approach. Use of oversimplified approximations leads to misleading results. In certain kinematical regions the QFM provides the leading contribution, and thus the results obtained without inclusion of QFM are erroneous. Experimental detection of QFM is a complicated, but interesting problem.

The densities of the generalised oscillator strengths are calculated in the single-electron approximation, taking account of the many-electron inter-shell correlations in the RPAE framework and out of it. It is demonstrated that a special type of inter-shell interaction of the electrons is responsible for this effect. This interaction

The non-relativistic random-phase approximation with exchange (RPAE) is used to account for the static rearrangement. The maxima in Xe and I- spectra are due to the 3d- epsilon f transition into the continuum, and those for Ba2+ and La3+ are due to 3d-4f transitions to discrete levels. The photoabsorption cross section for Cs+ appears to be sensitive to the method of calculation; RPAE leads to maxima in the discrete spectrum, whereas the static rearrangement leads to a maximum in the continuum. Allowance for the rearrangement due to a 3d-vacancy decay lowers the cross section in the continuum, shifting the oscillator strengths to the discrete spectrum which reveals the existence of the so-called 'collapse' of the 4f electron.

The ratio of the splitting intervals in such a state deviates from the Lande rule. This deviation is caused by an additional shift delta of the triplet level corresponding to the quantum number F equal to I, I being the nuclear spin. It

As an example, it is demonstrated via a modified version of the spin-polarized random phase approximation with exchange, that a recently observed unexplained structure in the Xe 3d(5/2) photoionization cross section [A. Kivimäki et al., Phys. Rev. A 63, 012716 (2000)] is entirely due to this effect. Similar features are predicted for Cs 3d(5/2) and Ba 3d(5/2).

It is shown that the non-zero quadrupole moment arises due to the hyperfine interaction of the electron shell with the nucleus. The Q values turn out to be especially large in cases when the atoms have the term 2P1/2.

The relative intensities of the satellite states with respect to their main lines shed light on the nature of the many-electron correlations leading to the formation of these satellites. The experimental results are compared with a calculation which makes use of a random phase approximation with exchange (RPAE) cross sections, and takes into account the shake-up and direct knock-out channels as well as their interference.

The role of shake-off (SO), of final state interactions (FSI) and of the quasi-free mechanism (QFM) is analysed. The triple and double differential distributions are calculated. It is demonstrated for the first time that in certain kinematical regions the process is dominated by the FSI and by the QFM, while the SO contribution is much smaller.

We demonstrate for the first time that this characteristic of photoionization process is essentially sensitive to the fact whether the photoelectron has the same or opposite spin orientation to that of the semi-filled shell.

For Xe, is modified somewhat by the interchannel coupling in the vicinity of the 3d3/2 → ϵf shape resonance, and this effect is significantly more pronounced in Cs where the resonance is larger. In Ba, however, where f-wave orbital collapse has occurred, the shape resonance has moved below threshold and the effect of interchannel coupling on above the 3d3/2 threshold is negligible. But below the 3d3/2 threshold, is dominated by the huge broad 3d3/2 → 4f resonance.

It is demonstrated that its dependence on incoming photon frequency is the same as that for the single-electron ionization. The ratio "double-to-single" ionization in Compton scattering proved to be energy independent and almost coincides with the corresponding value for photoionization. For the He atom it is 1.68%. This surprising result deserves experimental verification.
