Abstract

The absorption spectrum of atomic xenon in the wavelength region 922–1296 Å has been investigated with a 6.65-m vacuum spectrograph. The expected five ns and nd Rydberg series have been observed. The series have been extended as far as n = 66 for $nd{(3/2)}_1^{\circ }$ and n = 65 for $n{d}^{\prime }{(3/2)}_1^{\circ }$. The ionization energies obtained are 97 833.7 and 108 370.8 cm⁻¹ for ²P_3/2 and ²P_1/2 states of Xe ii, respectively. Absolute term values for xenon have been reevaluated.
