BVHU01 F. Brandi, I. Velchev, W. Horgervorst, and W. Ubachs, Phys. Rev. A 64, 032505 (2001). These authors determined the value of the 136Xe I 5p5(2P°1/2)6s 2[1/2]°0 level to be 76196.7848(35) cm-1 with respect to the ground level. Using the isotope shifts for this level [BVHU01], we have here lowered this value (by 0.018 cm-1) to the isotopic center-of-gravity position for natural Xe. We also used pertinent measurements [PBFS89, JC74, JC75] to adjust all the other levels tabulated here to center-of-gravity values. We used a constant correction for all levels of any particular configuration; the available data [JC74, JC75] indicate that this approximation is valid within deviations of at most a few units in the third place.

HP70b  C. J. Humphreys and E. Paul, Jr., J. Opt. Soc. Am. 60, 1302 (1970). We have here adjusted the 136Xe I levels in this reference to a more accurate connection with the ground level and to isotopic center-of gravity positions for natural Xe (see note with [BVHU01]). The infrared Xe I wavelengths given here with the [HP70b] reference are Ritz-principle values calculated from the isotopic center-of-gravity level values.

KW85   R. D. Knight and L. Wang, J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 2, 1084 (1985). These authors determined the ionization energy of the Xe I 5p5(2P°1/2)6s 2[1/2]°0 level as 21637.02(1) cm-1. Brandi et al. [BVHU01] combined this result with their accurate value for this level with respect to the ground level to obtain an improved value for the 136Xe I principal ionization energy. Using the isotopic shifts [BVHU01], we have adjusted this value down to the isotopic center-of-gravity ionization energy for natural Xe.
