XAS and X2PA spectra for neon are complementary to each other. The XAS spectrum, consisting entirely of Rydberg transitions, is dominated by the 1s → 3p transition, peaked at 867.1 eV, followed by the 1s → 4p, 1s → 5p and 1s → 6p, as allowed according to dipole selection rules. Relative to the shifts applied to the XAS spectrum in Ref. 63, the shifts applied in this study are much smaller. The CVS-0 X2PA spectrum has a dominant 1s → 3s (XA g → c1A g ) feature at 865.3 eV, along with smaller features at 868.3 eV and 869.9 eV; the latter arising from 1s → 3d transitions. In contrast, the CVS-uS spectrum has a dominant feature at 870.1 eV arising from the XA g → c11A g transition, seconded by the contribution from the 1s → 3d transitions at 869.9 eV. The CVS-uS spectrum resembles the X2PA spectrum in Ref. 63, even though the 1s → 3d transitions, which are indicated as the dominant ones in the case of X2PA spectrum in Ref. 63, are no longer the most dominant. The difference between the CVS-0 and CVS-uS spectra further highlights the importance of including the valence resolvent for computing X2PA cross sections.
