The photon emission from 10q keV ( 8; collisions has been recorded in the 35–800-nm wavelength region. Especially in the spectra we observed many unreported lines, of which 68 were ascribed to Xe viii transitions involving Rydberg states. As a result of this, we established 32 new energy levels and revised the energies of 6 previously reported levels. The Xe viii ionization energy 854 755±33 cm-1 was determined with improved accuracy. Furthermore, we derived Ritz formula coefficients for the observed Rydberg series and the core dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities. The analysis was supported by Hartree–Fock calculations.

The differences between the experimental and the theoretical (semiempirical) energies (columns 3–5) should be regarded as supports for the undertaken line assignments and not as a comparison between the HFR calculations and the semiempirical results. One easily sees that one can much improve the HFR values by shifting all levels of a common n shell with the same amount of energy.
