Abstract

The autoionizing electron spectra in rubidium atoms are investigated in an impact energy range from the excitation threshold of the inner 4p6 subshell up to 660 eV. The energy dependences of the absolute excitation cross sections for ten atomic and one molecular autoionizing states are measured. Basing on theoretical calculations of the energies, cross-sections, and decay probabilities for the 4p5n1l1n2l2 states, the spectroscopic identification of the observed lines is performed.
