Photoionization of the 5p 6 shell in xenon leaves the ion in either the 5p 5 ( 2 P 3/2 ) or 5p 5 ( 2 P 1/2 ) state. Measurements of the 2 P 3/2 : 2 P 1/2 branching ratio are reported within the Xe 5s5p 6 6p( 1 P 1 ) resonance and fitted to a new theoretical expression. The maximum value of the ratio as determined by a two-parameter fit of theory to experiment is 8.8+or-0.5 within the resonance, almost six times the nearly constant value of 1.55 found outside any resonance.
