There can be a resonance in the ionization cross section if the ionized
electron has an energy close
to the energy of an electron ejected from an autoionizing state of the
atom. We have developed a
method to calculate the resonances when there are multiple overlapping
autoionizing states. Results
will be presented for electron-cadmium impact at 150 eV.
