Abstract
Autoionizing levels in cesium, rubidium, and potassium have been studied by electron impact in a crossed-beam apparatus. Comparisons are made with the binary-encounter calculations of Roy and Rai. The effects of autoionization and inner-shell ionization have been overestimated in the theory.
