Abstract
Single ionization of noble-gas atoms by linearly polarized synchrotron radiation has been studied by employing angle-and energy-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The measurements were carried out in the plane defined by the momentum and polarization vectors of the photon. Parameters describing the left-right asymmetry (LRA; relative to the photon propagation direction) of the photoelectron angular distribution were determined experimentally for the s shells of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe atoms and H-2 molecules and for the p shells of Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe atoms. The values of the left-right asymmetry differ significantly from zero for both subshells. The photon and photoelectron energy dependence of the LRA parameters is presented also. Possible experimental and instrumental sources that could generate asymmetry are discussed and excluded as well.
