The first IUPAC Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units (the Green Book) of which this is the direct successor, was published in 1969, with the object of securing clarity and precision, and wider agreement in the use of symbols, by chemists in different countries, among physicists, chemists apd engineers, pnd by editors of scientific journals . Subsequent revisions have taken account of many developments in the field, culminating in the major extension and revision represented by the 1988 edition under the simplified title Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical Chemistry. 

As a consequence of the significance of the XPS in the investigation of the electronic stmcture of molecules and solids, the theoretical model calculations of photoionization spectra became an important area of quantum chemistry [30-35]. One possible way of description of the photoionization process is the perturbation theory. The description of the model would exceed the limits of this paper, so we refer to the textbook of Fulde [36] for the details of the formalism and the applied terminology. In this model the excitations are given by the poles of the Green s matrix Gw(w), i- e. by... 

The lUPAC Green Book has a long history going back to 1969 when the Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units was first pubhshed by M. L. McGlashan, the then Chainnan of the lUPAC Physical Chemistry Division. The first edition of the Green Book as we know it now was pubhshed in 1988 and the third, revised and enlarged edition was published recently by lUPAC with RSC [1]. 

There is international agreement that the units used for physical quantities in science and technology should be those of the International System of Units, or SI (standing for the French Systeme International d Unit s). The Physical Chemistry Division of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, or lUPAC, produces a manual of recommended symbols and terminology for physical quantities and units based on the SI. The manual has become known as the Green Book (from the color of its cover) and is referred to here as the lUPAC Green Book. This book will, with a few exceptions, use symbols recommended in the third edition (2007) of the lUPAC Green Book these symbols are listed for convenient reference in Appendices C and D.
