Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.13, p.4353 (1980). Using the results on spin polarisation of photoelectrons reported in the previous paper the bound-free dipole matrix elements and the phase differences of the continuum wavefunctions have been determined. The comparison of these data with results obtained by other authors in the discrete spectral range of xenon shows excellent agreement at the photoionisation threshold. This agreement is experimental evidence for the validity of the multichannel quantum defect theory.
