Abstract
In this paper we present the results of eigenchannel R-matrix calculations of the photoionization cross section of Sc from the 3d4 ground electronic state. The calculations were performed in LS coupling using configuration interaction for the target states as well as for the full atomic wave function. The spin-orbit interaction was incorporated through a recoupling frame transformation. We focus on the gross dynamics of the atom that need to be described accurately to obtain good agreement with experiment.
