Abstract: 
Relative cross sections for the valence shell photoionisation (PI) of S-2 ground level and 2D metastable Ca+ ions were measured with high energy resolution by using the ion-photon merged-beams technique at the Advanced Light Source. Overview measurements were performed with a full width at half maximum bandpass of Delta E = 17 meV, covering the energy range 20-56. eV. Details of the PI spectrum were investigated at energy resolutions reaching the level of Delta E = 3.3 meV. The photon energy scale was calibrated with an uncertainty of +/- 5. meV. By comparison with previous absolute measurements the present experimental high-resolution data were normalized to an absolute cross-section scale and the fraction of metastable Ca+ ions that were present in the parent ion beam was determined to be 18% +/- 4%. Large-scale R-matrix calculations using the Dirac Coulomb approximation and employing 594 levels in the closecoupling expansion were performed for the Ca+(3s(2)3p(6)4s S-2(1/2)) and Ca+(3s(2)3p(6)3d D-2(3/2,5/2))levels. The experimental data are compared with the results of these calculations and previous theoretical and experimental studies.
