Photoexcitation and ionisation in nitric oxide: theoretical studies in the static exchange approximation

Abstract
Calculations of the variation with photon energy of the partial cross sections to the ionic states of NO arising from 4 sigma , 5 sigma , 1 pi and 2 pi ionisation are described. The Tchebycheff imaging technique and the separated-channel static-exchange approximations are used. The results are compared with experimental data from (e,2e) spectroscopy and from synchrotron radiation.
