`
`The energy levels and observed spectral lines of the xenon atom, in all stages of
`ionization for which experimental data are available, have been compiled. Sufficient data
`were found to generate level and line tables for Xe I–Xe XI, Xe XIX, Xe XXV–Xe XXIX,
`Xe XLIII–Xe XLV, and Xe LI–Xe LIV. For Xe LIII and Xe LIV theoretical values are com-
`piled for the energy levels. In 15 of the other stages a few lines are reported. Experimen-
`tal g factors are included for Xe I, Xe II, and Xe III. A value, either experimental, semi-
`empirical, or theoretical, is included for the ionization energy of each ion. © 2004 by the

`1. Introduction
`
`In 1958 Moore 关58MOO兴 published a compilation of the
`energy levels of xenon containing detailed analyses of Xe I–
`Xe III and a very partial analysis of Xe IV. In 1968 Striganov
`and Sventitskii 关68STR兴 published a compilation of xenon
`lines containing a long list of observed lines for Xe I–Xe III,
`a limited calculated list for Xe IV, and a few lines for Xe V–
`Xe VIII. Since these compilations were completed, much
`work on Xe has been published. This work includes results
`obtained with new techniques such as laser spectroscopy,
`beam foil spectroscopy, electron beam ion trap 共EBIT兲, laser
`excited plasmas, laser implosion, and fusion devices such as
`tokamaks. As a result we now have energy levels for 24
`stages of ionization of Xe and at least one line for 39 stages.
`This compilation takes into account published work
`through December 2002. There are occasional exceptions in
`which later work is considered, particularly for the ion Xe XI.
`Generally, only experimentally derived energy levels are
`used; these include semiempirical results obtained by inter-
`polation and extrapolation along isoelectronic sequences. An
`exception is made for Xe LIII and Xe LIV where good theo-
`retical values exist. The use of calculated values is indicated
`by enclosing the energy value in square brackets for these
`ions and for a very few levels in other ionization stages.
`We tabulate only those lines that have defined levels but
`include some additional lines in the text for highly ionized
`stages. For tabulated lines, the wavelengths are compared to
`the energy level differences and must be consistent to be
`included. For many of the stages, decisions are made about
`which of several possible classifications to include by calcu-
`lating the respective transition probabilities with the Cowan
`code 关81COW兴. As a result of this process, in a few cases the
`line classifications may differ from those given in the stated
`references.
`Occasionally two groups may differ in their published
`analyses of the spectra of a particular stage of ionization and
`in the identification of lines belonging to that stage. In such
`cases we select the analysis we believe to be better. How-
`ever, the choice is not always clear.
`Many laser spectroscopy papers provide data about Ryd-
`berg series with results up to very high values of the princi-
`pal quantum number n. In this compilation we limit the tabu-
`lated levels 共and thus also the corresponding lines兲 to include
`only n less than or equal to 20.
`For the first ionization energy we try to provide the best
`available values obtained experimentally. We do not average
`experimental values by different authors. Where experimen-
`tal values are not available, we prefer to use semiempirical
`results which adjust calculations along an isoelectronic se-
`quence to fit available information about some of the mem-
`bers. For one- and two-electron ions there are very good
`theoretical values. Where no information of these types is
`available, we use the calculations of Carlson et al. 关70CAR兴
`which are based on a simple spherical shell solution for neu-
`tral atoms. Their results seem to be within about 7% of val-
`ues obtained by experimental or semiempirical methods for
`
`J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, Vol. 33, No. 3, 2004
`
`xenon. We note that another calculation was carried out by
`Magomedov and Omarova 关90MAG兴 using the method of
`the quasiclassical self-consistent field. The available xenon
`experimental and semiempirical values tend to fall between
`the two calculations except for the highest ionization stages.
`All energy levels are given in units of cm⫺1 and all wave-
`lengths in units of Å 共0.1 nm兲. Ionization energies are pro-
`vided in both cm⫺1 and eV. We use the conversion factor
`8 065.544 77⫾0.000 32 cm⫺1/eV as determined by Mohr and
`Taylor 关99MOH兴.
`Although it is often difficult to determine, uncertainties in
`the referenced publication of energy levels and lines are
`likely 1␴values. In many cases only the number of decimal
`places indicates the uncertainty in the quoted values. We
`generally use a ‘‘rule of 20’’ whereby an uncertainty of
`greater than 20 in the least significant digit serves as the
`criterion for dropping that digit.
`The text for each ion does not attempt to provide a com-
`plete review of all work on that stage of ionization. Rather, it
`intends to credit the major contributions, especially those
`from which values are included in the line and level tables.

`3. Explanation of Tables of Compiled
`Levels and Lines
`
`In the Energy Level Tables the first column provides the
`energy level in units of cm⫺1. The values have been rounded
`using the ‘‘rule of 20.’’ The absence of a decimal point in a
`whole number is used to indicate that the last digit is not
`significant. The second column provides the parity of the

`energy level; ‘‘0’’ signifies even parity and ‘‘1’’ signifies odd
`parity. The next three columns specify the configuration,
`term, and J value of the level. In the cases of Xe I–Xe III
`there is an additional column next which provides the g fac-
`tor of the level 共when known兲. Finally in the last column a
`reference is given to the source of the compiled level.
`In the Line Tables wavelengths between 2 000 and 20 000
`Å are in air. All others are vacuum wavelengths. The first
`column is the observed wavelength in angstroms 共Å兲. The
`second column is the vacuum wave number corresponding to
`the observed wavelength. The wave numbers are provided in
`units of cm⫺1 for ionization stages Xe I–Xe VI and in units of
`103 cm⫺1 for the higher ionization stages. The absence of a
`decimal point indicates that the last zero is not a significant
`digit. The conversion between air wavelengths and vacuum
`wavelengths and wave numbers is made using the three-term
`formula given in Eq. 共3兲 of Peck and Reeder 关72PEC兴. The
`wave number values are rounded to the appropriate number
`of significant digits using the ‘‘rule of 20.’’ The third column
`is the relative intensity assigned to the line. Also included
`here are codes which are defined for each ion. The next six
`columns specify the classification of the transition respon-
`sible for the line by providing the configuration, term, and J
`value first for the lower level and then for the upper level.
`The next to last column is an estimate of the uncertainty in
`the wavelength of the observed line. The last column identi-
`fies the source of the observed line.

`from the isotope-specific results of Brandi et al. 关01BRA兴 for
`the 5p6– 5p5nl energy difference by using an average of
`values for each isotope weighted according to its fraction in
`the natural isotope mix. This same method of averaging the
`isotope-specific values was used to obtain our quoted ioniza-
`tion energy from the isotope specific results of Brandi et al.
`关01BRA兴.
`The first major compilation of Xe I
`levels, by Moore
`关58MOO兴, was largely based on unpublished work of Edle´n.
`Several other
`sources
`关58THE兴,
`关67HUM兴,
`关70HUM兴,
`关81GRA兴 use this work’s value for the ground–excited state
`separation and all are adjusted to the value based on Brandi
`et al. 关01BRA兴. Several other sources require no adjustment
`since they measure directly from the ground state 关72COD兴,
`关85YOS兴, 关89HUI兴 or, to the precision of their quoted results,
`use a reference level 关98AHM兴 in agreement with the value
`used here. The most precise measurement of many excited
`levels was in the work of Humphreys and Paul 关70HUM兴.
`However, their work was for the single isotope 136Xe. In
`order to be able to use these results, their values were cor-
`rected to the natural isotope mix as specified in Tables 1 and
`2 by using isotope shift data 关89PLI兴, 关74JAC兴, 关75JAC兴 and
`a weighted average over the isotopes. This results in a de-
`crease in precision from the four decimal places quoted in
`Humphreys and Paul 关70HUM兴. The uncertainty is estimated
`to be 0.0035 cm⫺1 from the ground state and 0.001 cm⫺1
`between excited levels.
`Note that in the level table the three energy levels in
`square brackets are predicted values furnished to Moore

`关58MOO兴 by Edle´n. The energy of autoionizing levels can be
`specified in two different ways. One is to specify the reso-
`nance energy of the absorption profile. The other is to specify
`the energy at which the peak of the absorption profile occurs.
`We chose the latter in order to facilitate the use of these
`tables with observations of spectra. There is work reported
`using the former, e.g., 关86WAN兴 and 关00KOR兴.
`The observed spectral lines of Xe I have been compiled
`from 23 distinct sources 关30GRE兴, 关33HUM兴, 关34MEG兴,
`关35BEU兴,
`关35MEG兴,
`关49SIT兴,

`seven additional sources 关32RAS兴,
`关36BOY兴,
`关55PLY兴,
`关56HEP兴, 关61HUM兴, 关67AND兴, 关74TAG兴 totally superseded
`by the others. The distinct sources are summarized in Table
`3. The priority in our choice of lines which appear in more
`than one reference is specified as follows by spectral region.
`Far ultraviolet
`共400–1500 Å兲:
`关01BRA兴,
`关85YOS兴,
`关64PET兴, 关36BOY兴, 关72COD兴, and finally 关35BEU兴.
`Near ultraviolet and visible 共3000–8000 Å兲: 关34MEG兴,
`关33HUM兴, 关55THE兴 for lines between 5200 and 5710 Å,
`关30GRE兴, 关32RAS兴, 关58THE兴, 关55THE兴 outside range speci-
`fied above, 关74TAG兴, and finally 关98AHM兴.
`关00MIS兴,
`Near
`infrared 共8000–20 000 Å兲:
`关34MEG兴,
`关30GRE兴,
`关35MEG兴,
`关33HUM兴,
`关52HUM兴,
`关55PLY兴,
`关32RAS兴, 关58THE兴, 关55THE兴, 关49SIT兴, 关67AND兴, 关73HUM兴,
`关61HUM兴, and finally 关60HUM兴.
`Far infrared 共greater than 20 000 Å兲: 关49SIT兴, 关61HEP兴,
`
`

`
`关56HEP兴,
`关64FAU兴,
`
`关67HUM兴,
`关64AGO兴,
`关60HUM兴.
`As Table 3 indicates, two sources 关60HUM兴, 关73HUM兴 do
`not provide observed wavelengths but
`instead give Ritz
`wavelengths, which are the wavelengths calculated from
`known energy levels. Since we do not know the actual wave-
`lengths observed, the Ritz wavelengths are quoted to only
`one decimal place. The corresponding vacuum wave num-
`bers are also given with only one decimal place. In addition
`for 关73HUM兴, the values quoted were for the isotope 136Xe.
`We recalculated these Ritz values to base them on our energy
`levels for the natural isotope xenon mix and also quoted
`these to one decimal place.
`There are some cases in which the authors’ choice of
`which transition to assign the observed line is questionable.
`For example, in 关73HUM兴 共using vacuum wavelengths兲 the
`33 536.1 Å line was classified as 5d⬘关5/2兴2– 9p关5/2兴3 . But
`calculation using the Cowan codes 关81COW兴 indicates that
`the 6p⬘关1/2兴1– 7d关1/2兴0 transition should be about 20 times
`stronger. Its wavelength would be 33 543.3 Å. This may be
`the line actually observed but we report the classification of
`关73HUM兴 here.
`The classification of the three electric quadrupole lines is
`due to Edle´n 关43EDL兴. A few additional lines in the wave-
`length region 1027–1089 Å have been identified by Abbink
`关28ABB兴 as Xe I lines. We have been unable to classify these
`lines and so have not included them. Where possible we have
`corrected typographical errors in the references. For ex-
`ample, from the stated energy levels in 关85YOS兴 it was clear
`that the line reported at 1030.453 Å was really at 1030.435
`Å.
`
`The wavelengths of lines between 5200 and 5710 Å given
`in the unpublished report 关55THE兴 suggested higher preci-
`sion than those provided by 关33HUM兴. However, they did
`not agree as well as 关33HUM兴 with the values predicted by
`the energy levels. Therefore the results of 关33HUM兴 were
`given priority over 关55THE兴 resulting in no 关55THE兴 lines in
`this range being in the Xe I line table.
`The large uncertainties in the far infrared wavelengths of
`关72MOR兴 共often 4 Å兲 made classification difficult and mul-
`tiple classification frequent. Lines and levels included in the
`tables were limited to n⭐20. A few additional lines were
`reported by 关74TAG兴 but were not included because their
`ionization stage could not be determined. We also note that
`some far infrared stimulated emission lines reported by
`关65LIB兴 were also not included.
`All candidate lines were passed through a program to de-
`termine if they correspond to a transition between the known
`Xe I levels. Only classifiable lines are included in our com-
`pilation.
`Transition probability calculations using the Cowan codes
`关81COW兴 with empirically adjusted configuration average
`energies were used to help resolve choices between multiple
`possible classifications of lines. Convergence was not ob-
`tained for the 19s, 20s, 20d, and 20f levels and so we could
`not use the codes for guidance in transitions involving them.
