Abstract
The cross sections for the He I 1s2 1S-1snp 1P0 series have been measured using a relative flow method, with the absolute scale fixed by the H Ly-alpha dissociative excitation cross section standard. The results are compared with those obtained using a relative cross section data analysis by modified Born approximation, and good agreement is found. Cross sections for the ionization-excitation of the He II 121.51 nm and He II 164.04 nm transmissions have been measured, and the results strongly suggest that theoretical calculations of the reactions differ fundamentally from physical reality. The failure of the theory to describe experimental results stems from the neglect in the theory of electron correlation effects between the two orbital electrons.
