Synchrotron Radiation Studies of the K-Edge Photoabsorption Spectra of Kr, Br2, and GeCl4: A Comparison of Theory and Experiment

Abstract
The K-edge photoabsorption spectra of Kr, Br in Br2, and Ge in GeCl4 were measured using synchrotron radiation from SPEAR, Stanford's e+e storage ring, which provides a factor of 5×104 improvement in intensity over a conventional x-ray source. The agreement between theory and experiment is only qualitative.
