transitions in atomic phosphorusAbstract
The photoabsorption spectrum of atomic phosphorus has been recorded in the 1400 - 600 Å region. The Beutler - Fano profiles due to autoionizing 
transitions have been observed and fitted to a Rydberg series. Calculations made with the Cowan code show that interaction with the 
(also written as 
) configuration is negligible, unlike the situation for 3s photoexcitation in Ar I.
