The argon 2s photoelectron satellite spectrum has been calculated for high incident photon energy using correlated final ion state wavefunctions determined with a configuration interaction technique. The contributions to the lower kinetic energy satellite structure, which are predicted to amount to 10.3% of the main line intensity, correspond to the population of (2s3p)np and (2s3s)ns final states. Satellites with a total intensity of 1.4% relative to the main line are also predicted to occur at higher kinetic energy, corresponding to the population of mainly (2p3p)nd and (2p3s)np final states. The theoretical findings are compared with the available experimental data. |
