K-photoionisation of atomic carbon: shake up processes

, and . ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS, 348 (2): 659-661 (1999)

Abstract

We evaluate the shake up process in the K-photoionisation of atomic carbon, i.e. the 2s --> 2p and 3, and 2p --> 3p shake up excitations, within the photon energy range 25 to 45 Ry. As in the atomic boron case, the 2s --> 3s excitation is still relatively strong and due to configuration interaction effects dominates the 2p subshell excitation to 3p. The conjugate shake up 2s --> 2p is 3% near 45 Ry, decreasing slowly as expected. This infers that the shake off process would lead mostly to terms related to the configurations 1s2s2p(2) with a percentage of about 20%.
