Abstract
Many-body perturbation theory has been used to calculate the photoionization cross section of neutral calcium from threshold at 6.11 to 70 eV. Near-threshold resonance structure due to double electron excitation has been included and is compared with the results of several experiments. At higher energy, resonance structure due to excitations to bound states with has also been calculated and compared with a measurement by Mans-field and Newsom. The resonance is found to be particularly prominent, in agreement with experiment. Our results are also compared with a recent calculation using the relativistic random-phase approximation.
