Comment on the paper Photoionization of endohedral atoms using R-matrix methods: application to Xe@C60 by T. W. Gorczyca, M. F. Hasoglu and S. T. Manson, Phys. Rev. A86, 033204 (2012) [1]

Abstract

We demonstrate serious misrepresentation of existing experimental data and important omissions in the List of references in the paper [1]. We demonstrate that what is called in [1] total photoionization cross-section is in fact a partial photoionization cross-section. We demonstrate that long before [1] and presented there experimental data for photoionization of Xe@C60+ were obtained, a theoretical prediction for Xe@C60 have been published that was in a reasonable agreement with experiment. These data are even not mentioned in [1].
