Photoionization of the CO Molecule

POSTER

Abstract

A configuration-average distorted-wave method is used to calculate the photoionization cross section for the CO molecule. The valence bound molecular orbital is found from Hartree-Fock calculations for CO, while the potential for the ejected electron is found from Hartree-Fock calculations for CO+. The cross sections are compared with R-matrix calculations and experiment.
