Angular distribution and photoionization measurements on the 2p and 2s electrons in neon

Abstract
The angular distribution parameter beta has been measured for the neon 2p electrons in the energy range 0-80 eV above threshold using a synchrotron light source. The absolute photoionization cross section of neon 2s electrons has also been determined in the 0-130 eV region above threshold. Both sets of data are compared with recent theoretical calculations and with experimental data using conventional light sources.
