Abstract: 
We have investigated photoionization (PI) of the S-1 ground state and P-3(o) metastable states of C2+ ions in the photon energy range 40.8-56.9 eV at a resolution of 30 meV. Absolute PI cross sections have been measured using a photon-ion merged beam arrangement at the Advanced Light Source. Detailed calculations using the semi-relativistic Breit-Pauli R-matrix approach suggest a fraction of 40% of metastable ions in the primary beam of the experiment. The present results are discussed in the light of previous electron-C3+-ion photorecombination (PR) studies. As an example, the role of the intermediate C2+(2p4d P-1) resonance in both PI and PR is analysed.
