Abstract
Based on multiconfiguration DiracFock method and the corresponding packages GRASP92 and RATIP, as well as the newly developed RELPHOTO08, the variations of M subshell photoionization cross sections with the photon energy, ionization degree and subshells for highly charged gold ions are studied systemically. The present results show that the cross sections are decreasing monotonously with the photon energy; for the photoionization of nl electrons, if the principal quantum number of removed electron is large enough, the cross sections are essentially unchanged upon the presence or absence of outer electrons; for same ionization degree, the angular quantum number introduces two opposite effects which could exist simultaneously, and the intricate variations of cross sections with the photon energy originate from the competition between these two different effects.
